Atlanta's ambient / garage-punk act Deerhunter posted an update about the leak of their upcoming full length. The record is titled Microcastle and is due out October 28, 2008.

Vocalist Bradford Cox explained:

I have researched it and am not going to make excuses but the fact is that Mediafire has made several upgrades recently when I was taking a break from blogging. In all seriousness, I AM THE ONE WHO FUCKED UP by not realizing that without creating an account, Mediafire has been archiving my uploads "for my convienience" via my "browser chache (!?!)" and that as part of their new "convienient" features they offer automatic "folder sharing" which must be turned off. I don't blame anyone for, and am not accusing anyone of STEALING things.

Please keep in mind that these records are made possible by our record labels, Kranky and 4AD. Microcastle was released today on iTunes. If you downloaded it in advance through the leak and you can afford it I urge you to support those labels and us by downloading it legally.
