Deerhunter

In August 2008, Deerhunter played "Strange Lights" at the iconic McCarren Pool in Brooklyn, NY, a moment tucked right in the middle of their ascent. This gig followed the release of their groundbreaking album 'Cryptograms' from 2007, which helped the band carve out their unique space in the indie rock scene. Known for blending noise rock and lush melodies, their live performances had started to draw a lot of attention. The date also coincides with a period just before the band's 2008 album 'Microcastle' hit the shelves, making this performance a sweet spot in their trajectory. Fans were already buzzing about the band’s experimental soundscapes, and live renditions like this one showcased their raw energy and artistry. The McCarren Pool venue itself, with its rich history and vibrant atmosphere, just added to the magic of the evening.
