20 to 30 years from now we will be old dudes saying "they don't make music like this anymore".

Such a great independent band, caught at a special time in their evolution. This is golden. (It scared me the first time I heard it; haunted me for days.) Halcyon Digest is something I first heard at age 57, after I thought I had heard everything; wrong! I've been a huge fan ever since, and have never been disappointed.

Because I'm Japanese, I can't hear these lyrics. But I can understand beautiful and hurts these songs. And tears flow quietly. and others. That's the great thing about their music.

Halcyon digest is definitely a contemporary classic

deerhunter saved my life

He would have laughed is like the textbook answer to why deerhunter is one of the greatest bands ever

I'm late to the party with this band but my god i've been completely dissociated for the past week unable to feel alive and this has brought me crashing back into myself. Life and music is beautiful beautiful pain

Where did my friends go? Something very relatable as a twenty something moving stuff bradford

These are the 2 most beautiful chords I've ever heard.

This is literally one of the greatest performances ive ever heard

One of the most beautiful performances ever captured. Also RIP Josh Fauver

Helicopter live is straight-up beautiful

I can't tell you how many times I have watched this. Best live performance ever.

This live version of Helicopter is like something you would hear during your moment of transition - as the last firing of your brain's electricity hears the doctor ask "time of death?" Bradford Cox starts the last chorus of "Now they are through with me".

i burst into tears.

I love that he cuts it off at the end like the album version. it's one of my favorite album closings ever

I love you, Bradford, and I hope you live forever.

OMG these people are truly talented.

My mind just melted into melancholic bliss. What a performance, their sound is crystal.

I remember finding this video while riding the bus home in high school and it blowing my fucking mind. Literally like 8 years later and it’s still sick

Holy crap, after watching this video after how many times. but tonight, i've appreciated how good this live performance is. I bet there's a lot of timing and messing with pedals which take a lot of timing/skill (I assume) and I wonder if this song always turns out this good? Maybe this performance might just be a bit of magic, It definitely feels kinda magical to me.

2 songs = 1 mind melted

this performance is fucking incredible.

Gave me goosebumps fucking amazing.

these lyrics saved my life

I've went through one of the most difficult times of my life along the last year. I can't tell HOW MUCH this has lifted me up and made me saw different angles of life. This is art at its finest level. They can establish a dialogue between their music and their fans all around the world. Thanks for that, guys.

There's no other band like them... Every time I listen to them, they take me away... a total escape

Probably my favorite video on youtube.

My bong and I can live in this window of youtube.

This is one of those songs that makes me forget all of my problems, that makes me feel happy to be alive.. appreciating great music with other nostalgic but cool people who’ve been through a lot❤️

Deerhunter fans need to check out the solo album by guitarist Lockett Pundt under the name Lotus Plaza from 2012 called 'Spooky Action At A Close Distance.' Seriously underrated!

Two of the best songs ever

Talented group!!!! Depressing lyrics though...

I love this sooo sooo much... R.i.p. my friend.. (Jay)

How is this even live? Damn amazing!

rest in peace, Jay

Intro is so good

Maybe someday when I've grown out my bowl cut and got myself a nice Christmas sweater I'll have the ability to play music like this.

Deerhunter are my favourite band of all time, they changed my life!

Sounds just like the original and it's LIVE! These guys are talented

saw them for the first time on a pier in nyc on two hits of acid at sunset, changed my life

No one cares for me I keep no company I have minimal needs And now they are through with me Gorgeous.

This song is nostalgia. This song makes me cry.

The two best songs on Halcyon Digest !

truly amazing intro, love it.

just heavenly, simply divine!

i love the way this band makes me feel.. our true nature is spirit, not body That we are eternal beings and that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. ''bill hicks''

This is one of the all time great performances. Hooley dooley

this is why deerhunter is one of the best bands of this generation. I have never seen another band accomplish what these guys can do with sound. True artist of music.

got me hypnotized! i love it when great musicians make me feel this way :)

He Would Have Laughed hits different these days

my neurons just supernovaed

These guys have so much to say with just two songs its incredible, so strongs, everythings make sens and have his place during these 18m of music. (Sorry for my shity english hum..)

dang I miss concerts

Just play this at my funeral. What a perfect sendoff.

I'm pretty sure at least half of the 214,000 views are me.

Epic in every sense of the word

So much talent and the lyrics are depressing asf I love it

In Helicopter, frontman Bradford Cox tries to envision and communicate the thoughts of a young Russian named Dimitry Marakov during his last few days. I read his story and it’s shockingly sad and tragic. This kind of dealings are still happening in Russia today.

Bradford Cox is God.

They deserved to be way bigger than they were Helicopter is unlike any song I've ever heard

loved it I'm blown away I gotta see these guys in concert

so epic..this band is the best

6:33 lives in my head rent free

in sweetness comes suffering

Halcyon Digest is a remarkable record.

I always listen to this at least 25 times a year... Or way more.

Look up 'bliss' in any dictionary and you will find a url sending you here

the lyrics are breathtaking!!!!!

Deerhunter is so AMAZING! they have got through some tough times.....Hope they make another album soon:)

I can't breathe with you looking at me...

I mean this as a very positive comment: Deerhunter are the BoC of indie rock.

Just plain lovely, that's what this is....

the high pitch sound is actually from the eventide pitchfactor, he just used a quick loop so the high pitch harmonic from the eventide loops over itself. i have both of these pedals. i figured out how to do it haha

hell of a performance, truly memorable and significant

One of the best artists of this or any era.

Goddammit, this is so flawless, what the fuck?! One of the best bands of the century? Hahahaha YES

just saw them play this last night. it was bliss.

funny how this 17 minutes feels like 4. amazing.

what a great performance , master of the loop pedal

17 minutes long and its still not long enough. Fucking amazing.

Always love their live,kinda like a magic trip full of excitement

Top shelf. Tears. Slight tears.

This.is.unbelievable. Absolutely perfect

Deerhunter's classic lineup was the best RIP Josh

Love how they expand on their recorded stuff during live performances. Wish the version of 'Memory Boy' they did on Letterman and this version of 'Helicopter' were on the record instead!

Had to pause at 40 seconds to say this is already awesome.

This is beyond beauty.

This is one of my favorite live performances ever

i love them i think they are the best of the best i litterly watch this vedeo evry day befor eating C;

these pixels put on a great show!

I just experienced something out of this world. What an amazing performance by these guys.

THIS IS SO GOOD deerhunter at their peak

i was once dating a girl, for about 2,5 years, at the same time, I have been madly in love with my classmate, this band always reminded me of the girl I liked, I hated myself, but deerhunter helped me so much, when I broke up with my previous girlfriend, I wanted to tell the classmate, I got rejected, but stayed happy. thanks to Deerhunter and Bradford, thank you

So many feels. :( i love it

DEERHUNTER..FTW

It's not one song. There are two fucking names in the header. Noma, come on man, or lady whatever parts you're working with. What this is.... it's Deerhunter. Two of their coolest songs played with some extra jam time. One of the coolest KZfaq videos. The Interface's production team knows what's up. Camera work is pretty cool and the sound is very good. Bradford rocks the vest better then anybody as well. Being sincere. Every time I watch this it reminds me a lot of seeing them at the Gorge. I have herd that they are actually kinda rowdy on stage but at Sasquatch they played the set in the same manner as this Interface video. Killing it, but gracefully. Listen more.

I favorited this before it even finished. Mr. Cox you are genius!

So cool. I came here looking up Animal Collective clips. A related video was some kids doing a deerhunter cover and I'm like "I've heard this name before" so I look them up and this was one of the results, pretty good.
