The discography of Atlanta, Georgia -based ambient and psychedelic band Deerhunter includes six studio albums, two extended plays , five vinyl singles, three split albums , and four music videos. The band has also made appearances on a number of compilation albums. Deerhunter was formed in 2001 by vocalist Bradford Cox and drummer Moses Archuleta. Members to later join were guitarists Colin Mee and Lockett Pundt , and bassists Justin Bosworth and Josh Fauver.[1] Bosworth was killed in a skateboarding accident early in the band's career, leading to his replacement by Fauver.[2] Mee left Deerhunter in 2007 after scheduling conflicts preventing him from performing at a number of shows.[3]
Deerhunter released their first album, Turn It Up Faggot , named for an insult shouted at Cox during live shows,[2] in 2005. Its successor, Cryptograms , was released in January 2007, followed by Fluorescent Grey EP several months later. Cox said in an interview with Stylus Magazine that "Cryptograms is a subdued and introverted album", characterizing Turn It Up Faggot as being "about anger and frustration" and calling the group's first record "a total failure."[4] In 2008, Deerhunter released its third studio album, Microcastle , which included a bonus disc titled Weird Era Cont. . In 2009, the EP Rainwater Cassette Exchange was released. Microcastle was the first Deerhunter release to appear on American music charts , earning spots on the Billboard 200 , Billboard ' s Top Independent Albums, and peaking at #1 on the Top Heatseekers chart. Rainwater Cassette Exchange also charted on Top Heatseekers, peaking at #28.
