The San Francisco-based Noise Pop festival concluded yesterday, and among the many recordings from Wolfgang's Vault is the Deerhunter show, packed with four brand new songs. Whitney Penny was a no show this weekend, but the normal four (Bradford Cox, Lockett Pundt, Moses Archuleta, Josh Fauver) hold it down, playing and jamming to all post-Cryptograms material.

As far as the new songs go, they are all unique. The first one moves quickly through it's lurking melody, complementing Bradford's hazy vocals: "I forget tomorrow / All the sickness and sorrow / Disappearing, but the words still sting". The second one brings an interesting twist to the usual Deerhunter sound that you can hear for yourself. "Famous Last Words" is much like the second in that it wouldn't fit on the band's previous two albums Cryptograms or Microcastle musically or lyrically. Closing out the set is an 8-minute shoegazey jam that walks on very familiar musical ground for the band. Like "Saved By Old Times" in this performance and "Calvary Stars II/Aux Out" on Weird Era, it has that never-ending wall of sound, building tension and carelessness at the same time.

The first new one starts at 9:00 and the second immediately follows. "Famous Last Words" starts at 30:00 and that 8-minute jam closes it out starting at 48:45. Enjoy!
