Deerhunter

In the live recording from April 2, 2007, at Criminal Records in Atlanta, Deerhunter was riding high on the wave of their breakthrough album, "Cryptograms," released just a month earlier. This album marked a significant turning point for the band, establishing their unique blend of ambient rock and noise pop. Interestingly, this performance comes just as they were beginning to attract more attention within the indie music scene. The intimate setting of a record store provided a perfect backdrop for their sonic explorations, creating a connection with fans that felt both personal and electrifying. Plus, it's a neat slice of history showing how the band was evolving, with tracks like "Hazel St." delivering a taste of their evolving sound, as they merged lo-fi aesthetics with experimental tendencies.
