ThoughDeerhunter are now squarely in their pop era, the nostalgia that laced its early records has morphed into a timely, fatalistic vision of the future and national decay. What happens to people?/They quit holding on/What happens to people?/Their dreams turn to dark, Cox muses against a sweet, upturned piano riff at one point.

A spiritual sequel to ‘Fading Frontier‘, ‘Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared?’ seizes on its predecessors cheery melodicism. Co-produced by Cate Le Bon, the album rewires many of Deerhunters aural hallmarks. The band has often sounded either gently sprawling, as on ‘Fading Frontier’ and ‘Halcyon Digest’, or aggressive and claustrophobic, as on ‘Monomania’. Here, they manage to hit both moods at once.
