Do No Harm (CD)
Deer
Amoeba Review
07/21/2020
Do No Harm feels like a game-changer for Austin, TX’s The Deer. Vocalist Grace Rowland’s lilting, gorgeous voice seems to float above the band’s dreamy, lived-in melange of country, folk, and rock. When you least expect them, the honeyed voice of the mandolin strikes up, fuzzed-up electronics kick in, and swirling keys chime into the mix. It’s a hypnotic, heady brew, sure to appeal to fans of spaced out, wistful dream pop with a backwoods, down-home quality and a slight Southern Gothic edge. A fascinating album that reveals more of its charms with each spin.
