Deerhunter sets a date, R.E.M. live set on iTunes
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Atlanta’s self-described “ambient punk” outfit Deerhunter has announced a date for new album “Microcastle.” According to a post at Pitchfork, the album will be released on Oct. 28. There’s also a link at the bottom of the post to a stream of one of the album’s tracks, “Never Stops.” “Microcastle” follows last year’s critically acclaimed “Cryptograms,” and like that predecessor, the new one will be released by Chicago-based label Kranky. Pitchfork reports that neither new guitarist Whitney Petty nor former guitarist Colin Mee were in on the recording of the album. Before the album hits stores, Deerhunter will open some Nine Inch Nails dates, including the Aug. 13 show at the Gwinnett Arena.
R.E.M. continues its current rejuvenating run with an exclusive live set available exclusively via iTunes. Nine songs were captured on tape at the band’s appearance at the Apple Store on London’s Regent Street back in March. The set includes “Auctioneer” (from “Fables of the Reconstruction”) and “West of the Fields” (from “Murmur”) along with old favorites “Man on the Moon” and “Fall On Me” and several tracks from the recent “Accelerate.”
