  The album feels lighter and more melodic than much of the band’s earlier work, but there’s still fragility underneath the brightness. Bradford Cox writes about mortality and recovery with unusual gentleness following his serious car accident before the album’s release. Songs shimmer rather than explode, allowing emotional subtlety to carry the weight. It’s one of Deerhunter’s warmest records without ever becoming complacent.
