Deerhunter

In the exciting landscape of 2008, just before the live recording of "Strange Lights" at Primavera Sound, Deerhunter was riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album, "Cryptograms," which they released in early 2007. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, establishing their ethereal sound and garnering a loyal fanbase. By the time of this performance, Deerhunter had already begun to cultivate their alternative rock identity, blurring the lines between noise pop and shoegaze. An interesting tidbit about this particular show is the surprise appearance of Brian Weitz, better known as a member of Animal Collective, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event. Their performance in Barcelona was not just a showcase of talent; it was a testament to their burgeoning reputation in the indie scene.
