Atlanta-based Deerhunter are set to tour in support of Microcastle, the follow-up to 2006’s Cryptograms. Microcastle will be released simultaneously on CD and LP via Kranky in North America and 4AD for the rest of the world on October 28, 2008.  This tour comes on the heels of a handful of dates opening for Nine Inch Nails.  Times New Viking will be opening for all dates, with additional support from BARR, Knyfe Hyts, Vivian Girls and more in various cities.
 
Microcastle was recorded over the course of a week at Rare Book Studios in Brooklyn, New York with Nicolas Verhes.  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. The album also features two songs with lead vocals by guitarist Lockett Pundt: "Agoraphobia," and "Neither of Us, Uncertainly."
