Deerhunter are back with a vibrant new video & single in ‘Snakeskin’, the first material since their standout 2013 release Monomania. Premiered as part of a two hour radio broadcast presented by Bradford Cox in his home town of Atlanta, the single wastes little time hitting its straps, undulating between of an infectious groove and wistful guitars to create perhaps their most joyous recording committed to tape yet. The Valentina Tapia directed official video shifts frenetically between a few concurrent scenes – Bradford Cox smiles almost menacingly as he wills Snakeskin along to a beautiful, somehow logical conclusion.
