Deerhoof | New Album

[Royalearth]

I Will Spite Survive (from their last album). Missed this one when it came out. So great:


New album:


Deerhoof have been terrific for many years. Adventurous, creative & prolific.

i need to dig deep with them for once...Milk Man may be the only album i've heard

Hey, another Deerhoof fan on here! I've kind of fallen off them in the last 6 years or so, but I'm looking forward to this new one to see if I can rekindle my interest. I think The Runners Four is their primo album, the strongest balance of their compositional abilities and their left-field weirdness.

What's the best Deerhoof album? They've always seemed like something I could get into, I'm listening to Friend Opportunity and it's good.

I really love Apple and Milk Man. That period is sweet for me. I need to dive deeper into The Runners Four again. Never head it in it's entirety. My suggestion: just explore....They have so many great quality songs across their entire career! They are definitely a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band in my eyes.

Btw, their guitarist John Dieterich reminds me so much of Stone Gossard and the way he plays-- they are are like the living reincarnation of each other. It would be cool to see them collaborate one day.

A little while back, I finally decided to pick up Future Teenage Cave Artists on Bandcamp, figuring I'd never get a chance to give the album some proper attention if I wasn't able to play it whenever, as all my previous listens had been in the evening before bed, not really a great timeframe for this kind of music. Well, it paid off, as I managed to move past my surface disconnect with the music and find a clearer throughline to what I consider the golden age of Deerhoof music (Reveille through Deerhoof vs. Evil). It doesn't hit the highs as well as the best of their older music, but I think it more successfully ties their recent aesthetic and compositional choices to a stronger, more focused direction that kinda got lost after Deerhoof vs. Evil. I remember liking some of Mountain Moves, so I think I'll probably revisit that soon and see if it connects any deeper, and then I'll probably go back and check out The Magic, the album where I fell off the cart.
