本名Lockett Pundt,Deerhunter的吉他手,2009年3月推出首张个人专辑「The Floodlight Collective」,音乐受My Bloody Valentine、Stereolab、Roxy Music等影响。专辑所有创作是透过Lockett在卧室以电脑4轨录制的成品,专辑名称源自Lockett高中时期与Bradford Cox (Atlas Sound)及共同朋友一起组过的玩票性质乐团团名。专辑内所有乐器由Lockett伴奏,除一曲”Different Mirrors”由Bradford Cox执鼓棒客串。
本性害羞的Lockett在Deerhunter一直是个默默无言、漫不经心地弹奏乐器,只需专注盯着脚下的声效踏板的角色。实则Deerhunter渡过不安的早期乐团生涯,在Lockett 2005年加入后,似乎也替乐团某部份曲风定了调。从Deerhunter第二张专辑开始参与,Lockett为乐团贡献4首令人印象深刻的独力创作,分别是:”Like New” (Fluorescent Grey EP ‘07)、”Strange Light” (Cryptograms ‘07) 和”Agoraphobia”(主唱)、”Neither of Us, Uncertainly”、”Dot Gain”,末三首出自’08年「Microcastle / Weird Era Cont. 」双碟版。就”Strange Light”和”Dot Gain”可以听出非常Lotus Plaza式的风格,不难联想他的solo作何以呈现幻视般的延续渐层重叠音色,极度涣散犹如封面照过度曝光的花白光点,一如乐团风格充满怀旧伤感,也以他超脱空间的迷幻吉他声线让乐团摆脱首张专辑狂乱脱序的节拍,让Deerhunter的punk/garage主干更触及纯然知觉体验的声音旋弛氛围实验。
