Deerhunter

In March 2011, when Deerhunter took the stage at Sound Control in Manchester for their live BBC performance, they were riding high on the success of their album "Halcyon Digest," released just a few months earlier in September 2010. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, incorporating more intricate melodies and introspective lyrics. The performance of '60 Cycle Hum' was particularly noteworthy as it represented a shift in their lyrical approach, moving towards a style that was less abstract. Interesting tidbit: the band, known for their dynamic sound and captivating live shows, had a reputation for pushing artistic boundaries, which certainly shone through during this performance. This recording is part of an exciting period for Deerhunter, as they were beginning to garner wider recognition, thanks to their experimental approach and engaging live energy.
