About

It's hard to believe given his towering stature in the indie rock scene these days — both literally and figuratively — but Bradford Cox was a blip on everyone's radar up until a few years ago, when Deerhunter delivered their breakthrough disc, <i>Cryptograms</i>. Now that he's seemingly everywhere, from blabbing on blogs to carving out a side career with Atlas Sound, it's easy to write <i>Rainwater Cassette Exchange</i> off as Cox's spring cleaning collection. After all, it tears through five new tracks in 15 minutes, leaving lots of blustery garage pop in its wake. There's a lightheaded ballad that breaks out the bongos ("Game of Diamonds"), traces of extraterrestrial theremin lines ("Famous Last Words"), and a curtain-closer that starts off as a catchy indie rock tune and ends in a series of splintered samples and scrambled frequencies. Wait, what were we saying about this being a bunch of leftovers again? Never mind.
