Deerhoof??

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.

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

Thanks for the reminder!

how are they this consistently good?

they're underrated. maybe i'm speaking for myself, i absolutely love them but kinda always forget about them

they are my favorite band

I always check in on the new records as they come but it’s the rare LP that sticks for me as a whole. Usually there’s a track or two that totally works.

This new record is among the stronger ones. On the last record - or one of the last records, anyway, it can be hard to keep pace - “‘Farewell’ Symphony” was a knock out punch.

Personal favorites: The Runners Four, Friend Opportunity, Actually You Can

La Isla Bonita also pretty tight

offend maggie has become my personal favorite

so weirdly, i got into them via 'the magic', found it really compelling and amazing. i've dabbled around the edges with some of their newer stuff as well as the more canonical 'classics' from early 00s. for those of you more versed, where does the magic fit in? suggestions on where to go next?

the magic is one of my favs as well. i feel like la isla bonita is in a similar vein as far as funkier/groovier moments.

Apple O' for me

apple o and reveille are my forever favorites but of the 'newer' ones I think this most recent release and Love-Lore are truly awesome

thanks all! i also listened to runners four for a spell, really enjoyed parts of it but thought it was too long

the best way to listen to deerhoof ime is several hour binges spread out over several weeks. they dont really have a "masterpiece" bc i think theyre categorically opposed to such ideas but you just listen to a grip of albums and think yeah they can p much play anything they want and it usually works.

like what makes them imminently relistenable is them being a band in constant conflict with itself. classic rock riffs into noodly jazzy shit. heavy noise with satomi's sweet voice. recognizable references to rock's past with fucked up time signatures and other detours. too trashy to be academic, too avant garde to be pop. they not a band that gets comfortable, and while certain stylistic and timbral themes remain constant, they really dont write the same song twice.

i want to hear

the ultimate deerhoof mix

apple o and reveille are my forever favorites but of the 'newer' ones I think this most recent release and Love-Lore are truly awesome

this lines up with me too, just because i zoned out during the middle 15 years between those

love-lore is a great accomplishment

i am working on a youtube mix as we speak, but this will feature prominently bc its their most moving one 4 me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywd3jr6bs-I

this one too, maybe i should do a 'poignant deerhoof' mix

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBAl7NPyRMg

if you wanted to be truly gutsy you could "live mix" it here

jagged fruit was siiiick! i don't remember hearing it before, even

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLumtnLDTWxGocEM6FDZNXp7y8wmKC70UD

here is a list of 20 songs with tracks spanning from apple o (2003) to future teenaged cave artists (2020), just focusing on studio albums (plus one ep track and one orchestral arrangement for good measure). love-lore and other covers projects are a thing that deserve their own attention.
