There was a time when it wasn't difficult to imagine Deerhunter as a band that could be as big as Arcade Fire or The National. In fact, it seemed like part of Bradford Cox's plan all along. This week, Ian Cohen and Steven Hyden look back at Deerhunter's career, from 'Cryptograms' and 'Microcastle,' through 'Weird Era Cont' and the band's defining statement 'Halcyon Digest.'
