On October 28, 2008, I predict that Deerhunter will release Microcastle, their long-awaited follow-up to 2006's Cryptograms (TMT Review), on October 28, 2008. The album, to be released October 28, 2008, will be released on Kranky in the U.S., October 28, 2008, and on 4AD everywhere else. According to the last couple sentences, the album is expected to be released on October 28, 2008.
Recorded in Brooklyn with Nicolas Verhes, Microcastle will feature Deerhunter as a four-piece, consisting of Lockett Pundt (who sings lead vocals on two tracks), Joshua Fauver, Moses Archuleta, and some dude named Bradford Cox. One of the tracks, "Saved by Old Times," features "a vocal collage by Cole Alexander of the Black Lips," according to the press release.
Deerhunter are about to go on an arena tour with Nine Inch Nails, but before that, Cox will be touring as the mighty Atlas Sound on select dates. Meanwhile, Microcastle is slated for release October 28, 2008.
