Deerhoof??

Damn I'm in like a minute in and ready to cry

great news, i loved the 2016 release. band i like most that i haven't managed to see live yet

Amazing live band. Possibly they release albums a bit too often, they never go away long enough that you wonder what happened to them. And maybe they should record in a recording studio some times.

lost touch with them a little in recent years but it's always comforting to know they are out there

they have a totally original voice musically how many bands can claim that?

one of those bands that's underrated bc they've been around a long time, kind of stick to the same sound, and put out an album every year or so, but they obviously rule. i don't listen to everything they put out but every time i do i'm like wow there are some great jams on here

this album is really good

Greg Saunier is a great producer though, every record he touches sounds great. I mean Deerhoof gets pretty baroque, it's not like they've been slumming it with garage rock for 15+ years.

If there's one thing that bothers me most about music fans and critics in particular is that bands like Deerhoof, that stick around and consistently put out good or great albums, are neglected and even slighted for DOING EXACTLY THAT. and it always happens, you will miss them when they are gone! it's just buying into a narrative or career arc rock fantasy that is so long dead. Xiu Xiu get treated the same way and it sucks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmCbec2CA34

current track is a mashup of knight rider theme with satomi reading bits from raymond scott jingles + flourishes from indeterminate mauricio kagel scores > 'electric avenue' & two seconds of gary numan's 'cars' segueing immediately into beach boys' 'wonderful' juxtaposed with oliveros & evidently, in a few seconds, 'rainbow connection'

last six minutes:

Tenney + Silver Apples interjecting Summers' solo from 'Driven To Tears'
'We Are The Robots' with solos taken from Williams' 'Close Encounters' score & Feldman's 'Chromatic Field'
Parliament + Asha Puthli + Morricone + Babbit
B52's + Gubadulina
two seconds of Dionne Warwick > David Graeber + Derek Bailey transcription

recorded live. and as much as this looks like playlisting run amok, sounds only like them. I hope this gets pressed.

It's on the 'camp:

seriously fascinating post-stream conversation

Ben Piekut's liner notes are KEY. I know Chris Cutler has reservations about his Cow book, but of all the people who have taken up the ideas in Cutler's 'File Under Popular' - Ben's incredibly clear about what 'vernacular avant-garde' means in practice. the fear of how easy it is assemble playlists like this crumbles in the face of music that sounds this great

they had better press this

this is fucking awesome

greg saunier continues to be the greatest drummer of all time

btw the transition from the end of knightrider to electric avenue sounds a lot like rebore vol. 0 by eYe, which is an incredibly difficult and amazing thing to sound like, especially using live instruments, holy shit

ok, yes, they can't press it. not with this many things to clear, and the legality of obtaining permission goes into overdrive when you're dealing with interpolations / mashups; anything more complicated than single-composer publishing requires estate permission. so leaving this pay what you want puts it in DJ playlist territory where it's left to the bots who can make sure Ek gets paid

that being said I am hoping this does not get confused for a stopgap release, this is some crazy stuff. the Mae Shi Mixtape is one thing, where you can have an artifact of the listening habits of a modern rock band, but 15 years on hearing something like that physically played live is a whole new thing

Piekut's book Experimentalism Otherwise went a long way to catching me up to a lot of things rock audiences take for granted. Not until the tour van last year had I even heard the Stooges

yep - i purchased one of the prints (for $25), one because they deserve my money but also because that's probably the only physical thing related to the release that it'll ever get

ow wow

yikes this is fucking great

This is one of the very few rock bands that I gaf about chops, my favorite stuff of theirs has always been the math-y interplay and Greg's fireworks. On first listen at least I'm digging this as much as anything since Runner's Four

Also it flows beautifully and is surprisingly digestible considering all that's crammed in here...seems no more disjointed than any other 'Hoof album

This is an absolute blast, especially the sci-fi epic, "Love-Lore 4". Hadrian otm, this just nails everything I love about this band in a really playful way.

I'm thinking Greg should divorce himself from the band twitter account.

lol he ain't wrong about Republicans

haha, the politics stuff I'm find with... it's the self-promotion stuff, the "hey I have a new gf isn't she purty" stuff, ya know... the non-Deerhoof content.

huh i must be following the wrong deerhoof bcuz i don't see that

I don't talk about personal things much on Deerhoof Twitter but I feel so lucky I have been able to spend these lockdown months with my lovable partner Sarah.

just 10 minutes ago my partner asked me "so do you listen the rolling stones every day?"

"Much respected indie Hip-Hop artist Serengeti announces the release of his latest offering, With Greg From Deerhoof, the collaborative album with Greg Saunier. Of Deerhoof. The story of the musical union began back in May 2009..." - thanks @GhettoBlasterEhttps://t.co/g5WKKpeumM

etc...

lol I think an album with all the instrumentals made by a Deerhoof member might be of interest to Deerhoof fans

sure, but it's def. a Greg-heavy account and biased towards him. Needs more of the other band members' input or content imho.

I don't talk about personal things much on Deerhoof Twitter

makes you think, doesn't it?

i'm cool with the deerhoof account talking about whatever, but that's because i'm a peaceloving, old school hippie

DEERHOOF IS A BAND

There should at least be some reciprocation, no? Let Satomi brag about her new squeeze also

compromise: whoever is best at playing drums can post on the deerhoof account. it's meritocratic

too bad greg saunier is one of the top 10 drummers...

OF ALL TIME

i believe it, fight me, RT me

"deerhoof is the best rock band of the 21st century" is a thing i have caught myself saying multiple times in recent months.

Love-Lore is so great. it might be my most listened to deerhoof release at this point.

ive grown to love "offend maggie" so much.

It's the good kind of predictable, that thing where, because I'm completely out of the loop wrt new music, I occasionally fall ass-backward into news that Deerhoof has (somewhat) recently released yet another new album that is as good if not better than the albums they'd released previously. Although it looks like there's two of them to check out this time? Cool.

I'm still catching up with La Isla Bonita (though I did skip ahead to Love-Lore and lovelored the shit out of it). "Big House Waltz"! sheesh!

met greg this weekend. funny guy. my mate says he's convinced it's just jim carrey acting as him now

was kinda wild seeing him drum in the flesh after years of watching him on yt...

hella jeal
