Where this album fits

Career context
By the time 'Monomania' was released in January 2013, Deerhunter had established themselves within the indie rock scene, following their acclaimed album 'Halcyon Digest' in 2010. This release represented a shift towards a rawer sound, as the band sought to push boundaries and explore new directions in their music, moving away from the polished production of their previous work.
