Deerhunter

In June 2013, when Deerhunter performed live at Circolo Magnolia in Segrate, Italy, they were riding high on the success of their album 'Monomania,' released just a couple of months earlier, in May. This record marked a notable shift in their sound, integrating more garage rock elements and a rawer edge than their previous work. The performance captured in this video highlights that transition, showcasing the band’s vibrant energy on stage. 'Monomania' delves into themes of obsession and isolation, which are prevalent in the live setlist. Interestingly, this era also saw frontman Bradford Cox experiment more with his own identity as an artist, pushing the boundaries of their traditional sound while maintaining the atmospheric essence that fans adored. The concert in Italy became a memorable instance of Deerhunter at their creative peak, right as they were expanding their artistic horizons.
