I think Deserters Song's is great; full of wonderful melodies, a rich and magical atmosphere. However, there are a few traces of the overblown orchestration and ‘enchanted wood’ themes, which have grown and ruined every release since the album.

Therefore I would recommend Yerself Is Steam more. It's their album most likely to appease a fan of Sonic Youth. It's chaotic, switching between psychedelic beauty and squealing white noise. It's damn heavy at times yet always melodic.
