Last night, Deerhunter stopped by BBC 6 Music DJ Mark Riley's show to perform some songs and have a little chit-chat. The band played "Octet", from 2007's breakthrough Cryptograms, as well as Halcyon Digest highlight "Memory Boy" and a cover of post-punk vanguards Magazine's "The Light Pours Out of Me".

But the real prize of the session was a new song, "60 Cycle Hum", written during a recent soundcheck in Glasgow and featuring lyrics co-written by frontman Bradford Cox and bassist Josh Fauver (a first for the band, as Bradford notes in the interview). Head here to check it out; skip to about five-and-a-half minutes into the broadcast to hear "Octet" and the Magazine cover, and skip to 49 minutes in to check out the new song and "Memory Boy".

Thanks to Christopher Jenkin for the tip.
