Deerhunter "Monomania" - 2013 LP
Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 01:49PM Before you go to LACMA there's a couple things to do. The first thing is to avoid the internet and televsion all day prior to your visit. The second is go to Molly Malone's and have a Jameson neat with a Black and Tan back. Once you've walked through the current exhibition showing make your way to the second floor of the Ahmanson Building. On the east wall is a painting titled "The Room". The painting is by master, Philip Guston. It's a large painting and it is spectacular. At first glance the painting looks simple. Then colors begin to unfold. Shapes and motions from a palette knife begin to test the viewer. The painting is subtle but aggressive. It has great violence. Deerhunter's "Monomania" is their most provocative album to date. Bradford Cox confronts the listener. Shoves him a bit in a great way. After a few listens you might want to repeat the second step a few times:
