Deerhoof??

ah fuck it, thats the first song

desapareceré!!

yes! i neglected to mention milk man, which is also in my eternal deerhoof memory. i worked at a store when it came out so i had dozens of extra milk man promo posters with the milk man guy:

i hung them up all over my second post-dorm housing situation, which also, somehow, included a joy division poster and oasis

#tmi #onethread alert

i am listening/watching the m bison deerhoof mix as i pack my divorce boxes. i am very high and effexor-drunk (which is to say, not at all), and it is keeping me positive, thanking u m bison mix! upvote

<3 u

honestly though i keep waiting for the drop

xp!

perpetually underrated

still one of the best rock bands around

New album's out? They are weirdly easy to take for granted, maybe because they're so consistent and prolific. Not enough of a narrative there I guess.

Speaking of, how known was it at the time that Breakup Songs was about Greg and Satomi's divorce? Pub for the song on this new one about it being for Greg's second marriage got me by surprise.

Anyway I'll listen soon.

They’re a band who are (for me!) a killer stray tracks band, I know that compilations aren’t as profitable as they once were but a 2xCD for Deerhoof would be awesome.

(Runners Four and Friend Opportunity are the exceptions)

This one is OK, has some high highs

this new halo maud single produced by greg (and drummed on by greg presumably) is in the deerhoof orbit and also i love this

new free triple live album is unsurprisingly great.

what a wonderful band

i love them so much

I predict a "Harness Your Hopes" Pavement type surprise re-surfaced hit to happen to them at some point. They are too good to just remain this under the radar in popular culture. So consistently amazing too.

It felt like they were massive, one of the biggest indie bands on Earth from about ‘03-‘06 or so…definitely haven’t heard too much about them in the years since but they definitely had their fair share of appreciation at the time.

They continue to tour and record constantly, but, as ever, the media circus quickly moves on to new, fresh acts - and it’s as though ye olde band/project vanished.

they are amazing, but they were never even close to one of the biggest indie bands on Earth!

yeah no way. they weren't even as big as like, tortoise, or will oldham.

they were certainly one of the best live acts of that era. i think people kept expecting they would break bigger but they never quite did

Starting listening to this podcast about the making of Runners Four. I always liked them but also never connected super hard or listened to one of their records over and over. Totally love hearing about them as a group of ex-music school weirdos totally committed to going insane recording in a shitty practice space for a year though.

IIRC their episode of Rig Rundown on YouTube is pretty great too. They are unconventionally economical in their approach to equipment. A good strategy for the long haul.

God they've released an insane amount of music. Listening to Greg's new solo album now, which sounds great (and surprisingly/not surprisingly close to Deerhoof).
