Deerhunter Live Performance of 'Agoraphobia' at Primavera Sound

Date: June 5, 2009

In June 2009, Deerhunter was riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album, 'Microcastle,' which had been released just months earlier in October 2008. This album marked a significant moment in their career, showcasing their vibrant blend of shoegaze, punk, and ambient sounds. The live performance of 'Agoraphobia' at Primavera Sound captured the raw energy and experimental spirit the band was known for. It was during this phase that they began to gain broader recognition beyond underground circles, thanks in part to their inventive sound and charismatic stage presence. By the time of this recording, Deerhunter was cultivating a dedicated fanbase, setting the stage for future projects like 'Halcyon Digest,' which would come a year later and further solidify their reputation as a driving force in the indie scene.
