Atlanta's Deerhunter kicks out the most blissfully disturbing sounds on this neo-chill wave bill, lead man Bradford Cox recently cutting his finest lyrics to date, inspired by the “sad” way in which we can “digest” our memories as we please, most likely playing heavily from recently dropped Halcyon Digest. Real Estate, not too keen on the twisted metaphors, rolls on mid-eve with a taste of their Jersey Shore relaxitude, combining beach-comber guitars with floating choruses from their best-of '09 charting self-titled debut. Opener Casino Versus Japan is a ringleader of the Intelligent Dance Music boom, serving up a dream ambient segue into the night’s chill vibe. (Gavin Paul)
