Deerhunter

Deerhunter's live performance of "Breaker" on KCRW coincided with the release of their seventh studio album, *Fading Frontier*, which came out in October 2015. At this point in their career, they were exploring new sonic territory, blending elements of ambient music with traditional rock. *Fading Frontier* was noted for its introspective themes and a more polished sound compared to their earlier, more experimental albums. The band's frontman, Bradford Cox, has often described the album as a reflection on themes of mortality and the passage of time, showcasing their artistic evolution. The performance at KCRW exemplified this transformation, highlighting their ability to reinvent themselves while maintaining their distinct sound, captivating both new listeners and long-time fans. This period marked an important phase in Deerhunter's trajectory, showcasing their willingness to take creative risks and experiment with their musical identity.
