Summing up Deerhunter's output to date in his review of the fine two-fer Microcastle / Weird Era Cont., Marc Hogan writes, " If Cryptograms brutalized the pop ideal like a guitar-wielding David Lynch, leaving the follow-up Fluorescent Grey EP an exquisite corpse, then Microcastle resurrects it, scar tissue and all. The resulting 2xCD set captures urgent and imaginative songs that reorganize 4AD haze, off-kilter indie pop, crashing garage-punk, forward-leaning krautrock, and hypnotic Kranky ambience into a singular-sounding call-to-arms." In April of this year, Pitchfork.tv spent some time with Deerhunter while they were recording Microcastle at Nicolas Vernhes' Rare Book Room Studio in Brooklyn. For this episode of "In the Studio", we spoke to Vernhes and the band about the creative process and how this album came together, and Part 1 includes footage from the recording of "Agoraphobia", "Calvary Scars", and "Nothing Ever Happened".
