Bradford Cox loves releasing free music via the Deerhunter blog (unless it's a project he's been working on that got leaked way in advance), and even with all that touring and Logos finalizing, he's still managed to record and release some new stuff.  "Solo, or 'The Square'" and "Memorial Corridor" are the two songs on the EP and both are quality tunes, although the first is more immediately pleasing considering "Corridor"'s super long intro. A poppy keyboard-driven melody drives "Solo", and with a douse of hazy layered singing it holds similar vocal experimentation to his 2008 album Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel. The lyrics are vague and dreamy as usual, even more so on the balanced "Memorial Corridor". I've yet to hear a bad album from this kid..

Lyrics:

"Solo, Or 'The Square'"
trials and tribulations
trials and tribulations
i got tired of the good life
i got tired of the good life
i would spend
two hours singing
but when i said
two a hours a day
paves the way
i paved
i got two hours on board
to the day
show me your cock on the square
on my way
dark living rooms on sunday afternoon
shit, shit

just say it right
sugar white
and gave me sugar with it
my face was white
i had nothing with it
give me the right stuff
give me the right stuff
i got nothing with it
i had the right stuff
i got nothing with it
give me the right

come now lay your burden down

come now brother baptize me
lay your burden on the ground
no one ever leaves this town
come now lay me in the creek
brother won't you baptize me
