Deerhunter

In 2013, when this live recording took place at the Laneway Festival, Deerhunter had just released their acclaimed album 'Monomania' a few months prior, in May. This album marked a significant shift in their sound, exploring a rawer aesthetic while still showcasing their signature blend of noise rock and dream pop. It's fascinating how during this performance, the band’s energy felt electric, embodying the essence of 'Monomania’s' experimental approach. The live rendition of tracks reflected a band fully confident and evolving in their artistry, redefining what fans had come to expect. Interestingly, this was also a time when Deerhunter was gaining wider recognition, steadily building a loyal following, which made performances like this one pivotal in cementing their place in the indie music scene.
