Deerhunter

In late 2006, Deerhunter was riding the wave of their early acclaim thanks to their sophomore album 'Cryptograms,' released earlier in the year. This album marked a significant moment in their evolution, presenting a blend of dreamy textures and experimental sounds that hinted at their future direction. The live recording of 'White Ink + Wash Off' captures the band in their raw and formative stage, showcasing their unique sound in the vibrant setting of Boston. Interestingly, the performance precedes their breakthrough album 'Microcastle,' which would drop in 2008 and bring them wider recognition. This era is notable for the band's exploration of lo-fi aesthetics, which they would continue to refine, leading to their distinctive position in the indie rock scene.
