As promised, Deerhunter will indeed physically release (w/surprises) its much awaited, new studio album, Microcastle, during the Halloween season, October 28th to be exact, on Kranky Records.  The release of the band’s third studio, which has of course been floating around digitally for a while, will come in the midst of band’s newly announced fall tour.

But before the five-piece Atlanta outfit can delve into any of this fun, they first finish its short trip with Nine Inch Nails and reconcile? with fellow Georgia Natives, the Black Lips.

The Nine Inch Nails shows are a blast. Everyone is extremely easy to get along with and really good at their jobs. Its really amazing to watch how much effort and energy goes into putting on these huge arena shows. The lights are FANTASTIC as is the sound. It’s a really intense thing to experience. I am really honored for Deerhunter to have been asked along.
