Deerhunter is an American indie rock band from Atlanta, Georgia, that was formed in 2001 by vocalist-guitarist Bradford Cox and drummer Moses Archuleta.

Following the album's release, Cox asked childhood friend, Lockett Pundt, to join Deerhunter as a song-writing partner, second guitarist, and occasional lead vocalist.
