Reviews"The band settles on a neo-shoegaze approach, layering blankets of fuzzy guitar texture to exquisite effect." -- Grade: B+, Ranked #17 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "A woozy, trippy and cyclical shoegazer collection...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Singer-guitarist Bradford Cox mumbles lullabies over slow, spooky drones -- evoking wintry folk ballads or deep-space doo-wop or surf rock at low tide -- that morph into psychedelic monsters.", "The album reveals a band that's a little more reflective, embracing the fragile side of ambient indie punk and integrating it with '60s influenced pop.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "You'll have fun getting to the heart of these Syd-influenced treats and a wraparound curtain of shoegazy gauze that shivers with the clammy chill of lysergic '60s rock and Joe Meek productions.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The album should be up the alley of anyone who fancies multi-layered, feathery psych-pop.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "There's an intense physical sensation in all of Deerhunter's material, a constant feeling that outside forces are acting upon the singer, and by extension, the listener as well....MICROCASTLE is focused and consistent.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The richly recorded songs spool out with a natural ease. As the album rolls on, the shoegaze creeps deeper into a psychedelic doo-wop corner.", "It's an aggressive step toward mainstream that sacrifices none of Deerhunter's woozy adventurousness....MICROCASTLE is instantly ingratiating.", Ranked #7 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "His gift for setting nostalgic, almost torchy melodies to amniotic jangle and smeared garage rock suggests salvation...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The Atlanta-based band have refined their palette, emerging slicker and more self-assured....This is a far more seductive amalgamation of their disparate elements.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Closer 'Twilight at Carbon Lake' floats on reverb-drenched arpeggios and a doo-wop melody, conjuring a bizarre retro prom -- the kind of off-kilter affair where an outsider like Cox might feel at home."
