Deerhunter

In October 2015, just a month before this live recording, Deerhunter released their fifth album, "Fading Frontier." This album marks a significant shift in their sound, leaning towards a more polished, dream-pop vibe compared to their earlier, more experimental noise rock roots. The performance of "Breaker" in Seattle showcases not only the band's evolution but also the intimate atmosphere of the Showbox venue, where their lush soundscapes come to life. One interesting tidbit is that this era for Deerhunter also reflects a more personal touch in their music, amid the band's exploration of themes such as alienation and the passage of time. During this period, Bradford Cox, the frontman, was known for his candid and engaging stage presence, which made their live shows as captivating as their studio recordings.
