    On April 11, 2008, Deerhunter performed live at Market Hotel in Brooklyn, a pivotal moment in their evolving career. At this time, the band had recently released their third studio album, *Microcastle*, which came out just a few months earlier in October 2007. This album marked a significant progression in their sound, with a blend of lo-fi aesthetics and a more polished production that garnered critical acclaim. Interestingly, *Microcastle* not only solidified Deerhunter's reputation in the indie rock scene but also showcased their experimentation with atmospheric elements and intricate songwriting. The live recording captures the band's dynamic energy and the intimate setting of Market Hotel, allowing fans to experience the rawness of their performances during this transformative period. Following *Microcastle*, they would go on to release the ambitious double album *Weird Era Cont.* later that year, further expanding their creative horizons.
