The highly anticipated follow-up to 2007’s Cryptograms album which launched DEERHUNTER into the stratosphere of hype. Whether or not that was or is deserved is entirely subjective. Microcastle was recorded over the course of a week at Rare Book Studios in Brooklyn, New York with NICOLAS VERHES in April of this year. The album was recorded as a four-piece consisting of BRADFORD COX, LOCKETT PUNDT, JOSHUA FAUVER and MOSES ARCHULETA. "Saved by Old Times" features a vocal collage by COLE ALEXANDER of the BLACK LIPS, and the album also features two songs with lead vocals by guitarist Pundt— "Agoraphobia" and "Neither of Us, Uncertainly."

Includes a bonus LP with an entire second album of material titled Weird Era Cont.
