No one could tell you what to do. A force to be reckoned with -- you were filled with the undeniable feeling that you could take on anything and win. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Having formed in 1994, Deerhoof is now that fateful age and by rites it's the band's turn to go out and challenge the world. The same way a rebellious adolescent turns tough and irrational, Greg Saunier, Ed Rodriguez, John Dieterich, and Satomi Matsuzaki just up and split from San Francisco, the only home they've ever known as a band, and left behind all notions of what a \"Deerhoof record sounds like.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The result is Deerhoof vs. Evil. The musical equivalent of hormones raging out of control, it explodes out of the speakers with its gawky triumph and inflamed sentimentality. These are songs that practically demand that you dance and sing along (however elastic the rhythms, or abrupt the melodies). \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e To document their musical \"coming-of-age\" the band members could only trust themselves. Besides their cover of an obscure Greek film soundtrack instrumental (\"Let's Dance the Jet\"), and a song done for NY artist Adam Pendleton's documentary film installation BAND (\"I Did Crimes for You\"), these songs were completely self-recorded, mixed and mastered in practice spaces and basements with no engineers or outside input. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ironically the result is polished, blissfully exuberant, and huge-sounding. Going DIY meant freedom to reinvent themselves, playing each others' instruments, altering those instruments so drastically as to be unrecognizable, and generally splashing their sonic colors into the most unexpected combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Google Code for Deerhoof --\u003e\u003c!-- Remarketing tags may not be associated with personally identifiable information or placed on pages related to sensitive categories.

Working quickly, the band invited myriad guests to participate, some of them dear friends, others practically strangers. They are of different ages, different nationalities, different disciplines. The only common thread was that each and every artist on \u003cstrong\u003eMountain Moves\u003c\/strong\u003e doesn't fit into a single, neatly-defined category – and doesn't wish to. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe results, as expected, were unexpected. Guide vocals and simple melodies were dispatched via email, only to be answered with an outpouring of alternate harmonies, suggestions for arrangements, additional instrumentation. Every file received triggered a new rush of jumbled emotions. Some guests crafted their contributions in the small hours of the dawn, toiling in hotel rooms before driving eight hours to the next tour date; others hopped on the subway and recorded with the band in-person. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eCollisions and collusions abound on \u003cstrong\u003eMountain Moves\u003c\/strong\u003e. In addition to its bounty of originals, the program includes three covers that epitomize the album's assemblage of disparate ideas and personalities. Reducing Bob Marley's \"Small Axe\" to a beat-less fragment of hymn-like simplicity magnifies the song's rebellious spirit and undercurrent of violence. Deerhoof vocalist Satomi Matsuzaki, a Japanese immigrant, lifts the Staple Singers' \"Freedom Highway\" out of its original place and time, imbuing it with a new sense of alienation from one's own country. Snippets of the bass recitative \"For behold, darkness shall cover the earth\" from Handel's Messiah provide the foundation for a fresh take on Chilean folk hero Violeta Parra's bittersweet masterpiece \"Gracias a la Vida.\" \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdventures outside the United States also informed the making of \u003cstrong\u003eMountain Moves\u003c\/strong\u003e. During a recent visit to Brazil, the band was astonished to see how enthusiastically audiences at concerts sang, danced, and reveled – a cultural response, they learned, to the scarcity of resources for all but the nation's wealthiest elites. Elsewhere, the experience of confronting unfamiliar audiences of fired-up Red Hot Chili Peppers fans taught them that one of their greatest skills – the ability to recalibrate their sound nightly to suit a particular venue – wasn't limited to basements or small clubs. The broader strokes of \u003cstrong\u003eMountain Moves\u003c\/strong\u003e sprang forth from lessons learned while trying to engage audiences of 20,000+ across the vast distances of Northern European sporting arenas. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eIf \u003cstrong\u003eMountain Moves\u003c\/strong\u003e were a movie, it would be a double feature, Journey to the Center of the Deerhoof and Escape from Planet Deerhoof, shown side-by-side simultaneously.

To celebrate the occasion, three labels closely associated with Deerhoof’s career (Kill Rock Stars, Polyvinyl, JNR) are each reissuing one of the band’s first three LPs. While today Deerhoof are universally praised for their significant contributions to 21st Century rock and roll, in 1994 they were just beginning to develop the sound that would later inspire Pitchfork to label them ”the best band in the world.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Like a lot of bands and projects, it's pretty hard to pin down exactly when the anniversary would be,” says Deerhoof drummer and co-founder Greg Saunier. According to Saunier, Deerhoof started as the solo recording project of bassist\/guitarst Rob Fisk. “The first ever Deerhoof thing was a cassette Rob made. He did a run of five copies, and I still have my copy of that original Deerhoof release.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“I’d been playing with Rob since 1992, but in a different band called Nitre Pit,” Saunier continues. “We used to come in an hour early before Nitre Pit practiced. I remember one time at the end of the hour we were just staring at each other stunned. Suddenly freed from the structure of any song, we realized there was so much more rapport when it was just the two of us playing totally freely and as loud as we possibly could.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe addition of Satomi Matsuzaki as vocalist was the next major step in Deerhoof’s evolution. “When we'd play we were just flailing and convulsing around on our instruments,” Saunier shares. “It was impossible to keep our mouths near a microphone, let alone sing into one. We realized that we really needed to get a singer.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMatsuzaki arrived in San Francisco from Japan in 1995 to attend college. She was tipped off by a mutual friend that Deerhoof was in search of a vocalist. Though she had no prior experience working in music, she agreed to meet the band for an audition. “Not only had Satomi not been in a band before, she had no musical experience whatsoever outside of learning the recorder in middle school,” Saunier reflects. “But when she heard how chaotic we were she figured she couldn't make the band any worse than it already sounded.

Suddenly, the three of us were on tour, we were a band.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMatsuzaki’s lack of experience did not deter her confidence. “It was a noise band, so I figured I could just do whatever I wanted. I moved to San Francisco to go to school, and it sounded like a fun afterschool activity.” But she was a bit taken aback by the duo’s often eccentric D.I.Y. work style. “I thought we'd have a practice space, but we ended up practicing in a kitchen. It was a small kitchen, and there was a big cat, and a big dog who were always looking for food. It was so crowded. Greg was playing drums with chopsticks and Rob was playing bass with a cow hoof.”\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the addition of Matsuzaki, Deerhoof quickly outgrew their roots in San Francisco’s noise scene. While Deerhoof retained the unrestrained creative freedom of the noise genre, they  embraced the structured songcraft of pop music. “Deerhoof sort-of picked up right when Nirvana ended and we felt like a grunge band or a rock band,” Saunier shares. “We never fit well in the noise scene. We'd come out and have melodies, and it would go to a chorus, and we'd have cute lyrics about animals and flowers and stuff.

Bob agreed to allow Deerhoof to come to his basement and try to record \u003cem\u003eHoldypaws\u003c\/em\u003e.

So we came in there with the most nit-picky attitude. We'd never done any computer recording before, but we just waltzed in as though we knew everything about how to do it.

Then I took the snare drum hit from what was then the new record from Keith Richards And The X-Pensive Winos. So the drums on \u003cem\u003eHoldypaws\u003c\/em\u003e are just two keys on a keyboard — one was the bass drum, and one was the snare.

But the only keyboard we had was a Casio VL-Tone that I had gotten as a Christmas present in the early '80s. It was very small, it only played one note at a time, and it doubled as a calculator. Because it was a calculator, every key had a number. But they weren't really even keys, they were just little black and white buttons that were sort-of arranged to look a little like a piano keyboard. So each key had a number, and the way we would figure out these songs was to give Kelly a sequence of numbers of the buttons to press and then the melody would come out right. At the same time Satomi had decided to teach herself to play bass. She had a collection of animal stickers which she put on the neck of the bass, one for each fret. So when we were figuring out the songs we'd be like, 'You hit bear three times, and then go to lion.'

Though Deerhoof were stuck recording on the aforementioned broken Tascam, Saunier valiantly tried to improve other aspects of the recording process. “We borrowed some better amps and microphones. We tried to do it right. I'd read something in a magazine about how your supposed to mic a bass drum and we’d try it. We recorded all the loud songs in one day with a couple borrowed microphones in a borrowed room. We recorded all the quiet songs in the front of our apartment while our roommate wasn't home. It was all one take per song and that's what we had to work with.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut \u003cem\u003eHalfbird \u003c\/em\u003ewould spend several years mired in post-production limbo. “We gave up on it so many times, and then came back to it thinking maybe it could work,” Saunier says. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatsuzaki recalls Saunier’s obsession with salvaging the project. “For months Greg would sit in front of the Tascam four-track all day long just touching all these knobs, Matsuzaki says. “I’m from Japan, and I thought there's so much technology out there, I was like, 'Wow, Greg really believes in this machine.’ It was a mystery to me and I wondered, ‘Why don't we just buy something else?' Greg tried so hard.

But by the time the album was issued in 2001, Saunier says that Deerhoof was in a difficult place. “There was an existential crisis every week or so. In the four years it took to complete\u003cem\u003e Halfbird\u003c\/em\u003e Rob and Kelly quit, and it seemed like the band was over. It had become such a pain, and we were so amazingly unsuccessful in everything we attempted. All of our CDs lost money, all of our tours lost money, and this was happening when the first of San Francisco's tech booms was starting and everything was getting really expensive. Rob started thinking, 'What in the world am I doing?' We all had those doubts constantly. It seemed like a silly way to be wasting your life away, huddled over a four-track machine and playing to the same eight people at every show. It felt like it was going nowhere, and meanwhile the cost of living was skyrocketing.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“A new phase of the band was about to start,” Saunier reflects. Deerhoof’s next album\u003cem\u003e Reveille \u003c\/em\u003ewould receive remarkable critical acclaim, being included in 2002-best-of lists published by Pitchfork and the New York Times. Deerhoof were on their way to indie rock glory and fame. “Like anybody's life, so much of Deerhoof’s story has been built around accidents and coincidences,” Saunier shares. “Everything just kept falling into place in a way that allowed us to get things done.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoth Matsuzaki and Saunier feel Deerhoof’s early work deserves a new listen. “I felt lucky this year to be able to go back to those first three records and hear what they actually sounded like,” Saunier says. “When those records are mentioned they're usually referred to as our lo-fi\/noise albums. So it was really great for me to hear those records again and realize they were every bit as poppy as anything we've done since.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“I think these three albums are Deerhoof's most raw and real albums,” Matsuzaki adds. “These albums are almost like science fiction to me. We had all these fantasies about what we wanted to do musically and we were struggling to meet that reality. But I feel like the labels and people we worked with believed in our weird fantasy. I still believe in that fantasy and after 25 years I still like these albums.

Whether by a collective dismantling or sheer collapse, our old illusions are being hollowed out. Over the past couple of years, Deerhoof has been asking themselves if there was any music they could create that expressed how the rapidly changing future might actually feel. The finished product, \u003cem\u003eFuture Teenage Cave Artists,\u003c\/em\u003e finds Deerhoof in a revolutionary mood, but also haunted by memories of a lost world and every failed attempt to save it. People already cut loose from the system, already surviving with new ways of life—these hopeful heroes are Deerhoof’s inspiration. These are the \u003cem\u003eFuture Teenage Cave Artists\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFaithful listeners will recognize a certain alienated but transformational figure who shows up in Deerhoof songs going back to their earliest days. Take the narrator of “The Perfect Me” from 2007’s \u003cem\u003eFriend Opportunity\u003c\/em\u003e: an orphaned but eager soul attempting to entice other wounded wanderers who might lack a home, a clan, a family, a history. But on \u003cem\u003eFuture Teenage Cave Artists\u003c\/em\u003e our protagonist is threatened by terror lurking around every corner. Add to that the fact that our “cast-off queen,” our “maniac,” our “terrible daughter” are watching themselves get orphaned in real time by an older generation in power that would rather see life on Earth destroyed than give up archaic systems of capital.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike a lot of the inimitable music they have released over the last quarter-century, the Deerhoof of \u003cem\u003eFuture Teenage Cave Artists \u003c\/em\u003e(Satomi Matsuzaki on bass and vocals, Ed Rodriguez and John Dieterich on guitars, and Greg Saunier on drums, vocals and piano) stitches together fragments of R\u0026amp;B and classic rock and transforms them into a new language of revolution, forgoing verse-chorus structures for dream logic and blind intuition. But what makes this album different is its intimacy—the blues riffs and slide guitars are joined by soft, rickety pianos and whispered three-part harmonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this sense, \u003cem\u003eFTCA \u003c\/em\u003einverts the formula of Deerhoof’s last album, \u003cem\u003eMountain Moves\u003c\/em\u003e, which invited a wide community of collaborators to band together in an open celebration of solidarity. The new one, on the other hand, is borne of self-isolation and deprivation. It’s the sound of a sparkling, manic musical intelligence being disconnected from a nourishing public and devouring itself inside its own cocoon: a desperate lunge at metamorphosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt times \u003cem\u003eFTCA\u003c\/em\u003e indeed sounds as if the band has retreated to the caves, recording with unreliable electricity and insecure food supplies. Guitar pedals malfunction mid-take, reverbs chop off mid-tail, drum fills collapse mid-phrase. Some musical moments, as gorgeous and touching as anything Deerhoof has ever written, stop short for no apparent reason, giving way to queasy smudges of sound. Many of the instruments and voices were recorded with nothing more than the built-in mic of a laptop. Harsh splices make no effort to hide the seams. Hard panning leaves many of these imperfections weirdly naked in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this way \u003cem\u003eFTCA\u003c\/em\u003e joins a storied lineage of pop records that expose the insular and reclusive nature of recording itself. Like \u003cem\u003eLet It Be, There's a Riot Goin' On, \u003c\/em\u003eor \u003cem\u003eSister Lovers\u003c\/em\u003e, this record is its own “making-of.” Absence is a central character in the drama. For every heartwarming melody or pile-up of parade drums or shard of loopy guitar noise, there is musical acknowledgement of the toll that a constant threat of cataclysm takes on mental health. This is a sonic and lyric funeral for a way of life that is never coming back—an afterparty, back when the doomsday clock hit midnight. There are raucous toasts to the departed in high style, as sassy and spasmodic as anything they've done—see Side A; there are moments of profound sadness, maximally small, descending into madness, shrieking with loss—see Side B. All funerals remind us that life goes on, somehow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn that time after the end times, it’s not only the food systems, energy systems, and political systems that will have to be rebuilt. Myths, stories, and rituals we use to make sense of the world are up for revision, too. Might not agile networks of mutual aid be our best example of civilization, and our makeshift DIY basement shows be the real high art? One answer might be found in the two-and-a-half decades that this improbable combination of personalities and backgrounds we call Deerhoof has spent on stage, cultivating quick-wittedness and improvisation. This is a record about resilience and the persistence of hope in a future beyond any reasonable justification for it. Like so many young people today, Deerhoof seems to be already living in that future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Deerhoof","offers":[{"title":"Blood Vinyl + Digital (Packaged in Gatefold artwork)","offer_id":31862686613575,"sku":"JNR331_FTCA_LP-C1","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD + Digital","offer_id":31862705061959,"sku":"JNR331_FTCA_CD","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cassette + Digital (Clear tape shell)","offer_id":31862704701511,"sku":"JNR331_FTCA_Cass","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Digital (High-quality MP3, AIFF, and WAV download)","offer_id":31862705193031,"sku":"JNR331_FTCA_Digital","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"VIP","offer_id":31862686580807,"sku":"JNR331_FTCA_VIP","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5451\/products\/JNR331-FTCA-Cover-Art_web.jpg?v=1627393274"},{"product_id":"safe-in-sound","title":"Safe In Sound (Home Recordings From Quarantine)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"section group\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col span_1_of_2\" style=\"vertical-align: top;\" valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 8px 0px 6px 8px; background-color: #a9a9a9; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Oswald', sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 100%; text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003eTrack Listing \/ Credits\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px 0px;\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 500px; height: 572px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=702099481\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=333333\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/joyfulnoise.bandcamp.com\/album\/safe-in-sound-home-recordings-from-quarantine\"\u003eSafe In Sound (Home Recordings from Quarantine) by Joyful Noise Recordings\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRob Crow \u0026amp; Family\u003c\/b\u003e - “Philosophy of the World (The Shaggs)” - Music and lyrics by Dorothy Wiggin.

Since in today’s world, true democracy is not practiced anywhere on the planet. Human Rights is a colossal type of event for anyone to realize, and it’s hard to do. But it must be done and I believe it can be achieved.

The corporate world seems to want to define 'musician' as 'internet content competitor' but the actual people who make music have to find ways out of that trap.

Love-Lore forages a wide-ranging selection of music from the 50s through the 80s to reflect upon the overly optimistic promises of progress that humanity was fed across the culture and music of the post-war era. Instead of the projected 21st century in which disease, racism, and inequality are obsolete and everyone has a flying car and robot maid, our current blasted landscape finds the men, women, and children of Earth at the brink of extermination. And at the same time, Deerhoof finds hope in the wisdom of some of that era's anti-establishment voices, particularly the Afro-futurists, whose seeds we now see beginning to grow into trees.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Deerhoof","offers":[{"title":"Limited Edition Poster + Digital (Hand-screened 18\"x24\" poster, limited edition of 500.

That September Deerhoof brought WHY? and Serengeti on an east coast tour. In the summer of 2018 Geti and Greg were surprised to see each other at the People residency in Berlin. One day they signed up for the noon-to-1pm slot in one of the recording studios. Having never played together or talked about what to record, they performed the 17-minute \"I Got Your Password (live)\" to an audience of recording engineer Jonas Verwijnen and a few other People musicians sitting in the control room. In April 2020 Greg asked Jonas for the audio from the session.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px 0px;\"\u003eWhen Greg sent Geti the 17-minute mixed track a few weeks later, they liked it and decided to make a full-length album. While Geti wrote lyrics, Greg produced some classical- and Broadway-inspired tracks.

Its insert features a greenery-overgrown lowrider, which became a central symbol for the musicians; lowriders redesign those central tokens of mainstream mass-production, in ways that contradict its intended purposes, turning them into painstaking, individualistic works of art, expressing pride, faith and dissent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDeerhoof’s players are not strangers to home-recording their individual parts, and have long embraced\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ecomposing via file trading.

As the group’s combined demos became increasingly layered, Matsuzaki put her foot down, insisting the new album should replicate concert energy. “This album needs to be two guitars, bass, drums, period, that’s it. I want to be able to play these songs,” she said. Waking from a vivid dream of the quartet on huge stages with past tourmates Radiohead and Red Hot Chili Peppers, Saunier fugue-arranged his bandmates’ complex demos into songs to make an audience smile and dance. Over several months, each member re-tracked their parts at home, then sent back to Saunier to mix. Matsuzaki scrutinized spots that would betray the conceit, eliminating anything that took away from the sound of onstage grandeur. “We spent so many weeks imagining playing together, it became almost a fake memory,” Saunier marvels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFor Deerhoof’s members to continually uncover new corners of their own talent requires deep wells of\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003egratitude, not only for each others’ creativity, but for the freedom their career affords. “If we have\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003echemistry, part of it is that we don’t quite understand each other’s music,” jokes Saunier.

He’d just moved to Oakland and didn’t mind playing for the 20 people we always played to at the Stork Club. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eOver two years we recorded and rejected endless songs, casting around randomly in all different styles that we never played when Rob was in the band. Things started making sense when we hit on Judgement Day as our central image. But instead of a Western god allowing capitalist Christians like George Bush through the gates, a Deergod damned them in favor of populating heaven with animals. It was very Rob Fisk. Deerhoof charged back to life.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnd \u003c\/em\u003eReveille\u003cem\u003e turned into an actual new dawn for us. It was well received and we started touring more and now we still are doing so and it’s fun.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e---Greg Saunier, 2024\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDeerhoof has never had a single “breakout” album. For Deerhoof fans, everyone’s favorite album seems to be whichever one they first heard. For me, \u003c\/em\u003eReveille\u003cem\u003e is that album. I remember first hearing it when I was about 19 years old. At first, my brain couldn’t make sense of it… How could music like this be created? What approach to songwriting or playing would possibly produce songs that sounded like this? The fluttering chaotic drums. The time signatures yo-yoing up and down a sliding scale, according to some hidden logic—or perhaps by virtue of a devotion to the void underlying all such logic. Satomi’s vocals, perfectly juxtaposing the crunching feedback-laden guitars and explosively complex percussion. I had never heard anything that sounded so savage and cute at once. So chaotic and yet so precise. Persistently playful…yet *aggressively* playful. A cartoonish but authentic other world seemed to lie just beyond this sonic fringe or hem of the mystery.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn my mind, both order and accident seemed equally impossible as explanations for the sounds that I was hearing. Could it be that they had no idea what they were doing? But elements of an intelligent design also seemed clearly and unmistakably present. What kind of method or psychic bag-of-tricks during band practice or recording would generate the living, shapeshifting quality of this sound spread out over the length of this album? With absolute bewilderment, I had to come to grips with the fact that I had no idea.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe urban legend that I heard about how the album was crafted evoked an image of the group’s cultic adherence to a stringent DIY extremism as a major element of what sets them apart in their sound. As it was related to me (based on the account of a friend, who’d read about it in Tape Op or somewhere): not only had the album been self-recorded, but the band members had to network three different MacBooks together, each pressing the spacebar simultaneously in order to capture and track each of their instruments onto the free version of ProTools which only allows for two tracks total before the pay gate went back up. There was only one bass note cloned and then pitch-shifted across the whole LP.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eOr, at any rate, these are the details that I recall being included in this friend’s account of the mythical Tape Op article about how \u003c\/em\u003eReveille\u003cem\u003e was created (which, as it turns out, does exist, but refers specifically to the \u003c\/em\u003eMilk Man\u003cem\u003e sessions). As I have been able to confirm in the fullness of time, though this account is not quite accurate in the application of its particulars, all of the particulars it mentions are themselves true—they just happened on other albums, and are more generally descriptive of the period and the ethos of the band itself, rather than of \u003c\/em\u003eReveille\u003cem\u003e. As for \u003c\/em\u003eReveille\u003cem\u003e: its secrets remain obscure both to myself and perhaps to the band themselves as well, even unto this day. And it still sounds that way.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs such: It is a great honor to reissue \u003c\/em\u003eReveille\u003cem\u003e by Deerhoof.

Each one presents a challenge to themselves, to discover some previously unknown combination of candy-coated hard-rock riffs and free-jazz percussive freakouts, sideways pop hooks and fearsome dissonance, trenchant social commentary and surrealist humor. And yet somehow, they’re also profoundly \u003ci\u003ereliable\u003c\/i\u003e, a strange but true descriptor for a band so creatively restless. No matter how far they follow their own curiosity and ambition, they never stray from some essential aspect of their identity.

Strings that evoke avant-garde chamber music and classic horror-film soundtracks bounce off guitar and bass lines that chug on impervious to the creeping dread. The drums are sometimes filtered to sound almost electronic, but no computer could come up with rhythms so funky and dynamic, with each minute variation from one snare hit to the next conveying worlds of possibility. Though the subject matter may be bleak—how could it not be?—the songs carry an implicit note of defiant optimism in their refusal to bow to convention or received wisdom. There’s that famous Dylan Thomas line about raging against the dying of the light: \u003ci\u003eNoble and Godlike in Ruin \u003c\/i\u003efeels a little like that. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eDeerhoof seems to thrive on collapse, whether musical—in the moments on their latest LP when their songs crash and break apart, then reassemble in surprising and delightful new fashion—or, for that matter, societal.

But judging from the ferocity and experimentalism of their upcoming LP, they are abandoning any semblance of prevailing music industry wisdom and just going harder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eFronting it all is Satomi Matsuzaki’s inimitable alto. A voice of solitude, whose plainspoken calm can seem strangely outside of the band’s maelstrom, even as she contributes to it with her jaggedly precise bass parts. As a first-generation immigrant to the US, she’s never tried to disguise her Japanese accent, or her deadpan, \u003ci\u003ekaraoke\u003c\/i\u003e-esque delivery. On \u003ci\u003eNoble and Godlike in Ruin\u003c\/i\u003e, her sense of remove feels alternately like an expression of loneliness and like a cool provocation to systems of oppression and control. “Kindness is all I needed from you,” she sings on the epic album closer “Immigrant Songs.” “But you think we’re in your house.” Not long after, the song detonates, its tightly wound art-pop giving way to several minutes of howling noise. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p6\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eNoble and Godlike in Ruin\u003c\/i\u003e’s production sheen is cinematic, almost orchestral, and the musicianship gleams as it twists between rock, punk, latin, classical, funk, and no-wave. It’s as if our protagonist keeps shattering the fourth wall that the instruments behind her keep scrambling to rebuild. Matching the whimsical to the revolutionary, the beautiful to the horrific, \u003ci\u003eNoble and Godlike in Ruin\u003c\/i\u003e provides a catharsis which liberates listeners from the inhumane world we’re forced to wrap our bamboozled, grief-stricken heads around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p6\"\u003eIn other words: Yes, it sounds like Deerhoof. This is simply the latest and fiercest in their long line of mystical, subversive noise-pop operas, riddled with literary references and double meanings. As long as there are structures of greed and domination on Earth, these mischievous beasts will be around to challenge and thumb their noses at them—and, maybe someday, to topple them once and for all.

Deerhoof were like painters who'd leave bare patches of canvas to highlight their strokes; now they're inclined to fill in every square inch, inviting us to revel in every brilliant corner. And songs like \"Perfect Me,\" \"Believe in E.S.P.\" and \"Choco Fight\" are vastly more groove-oriented — and yeah, sexy — than anything they've ever done. It's all integrated into juxtapositions that ought to be jarring but just come out astonishing. \"Believe E.S.P.\" opens with Deerhoof's take on get-down funky slinkopation but the next passage sounds like something out of Palestrina; like so many of these songs, it's a scenic drive that flows from one astonishing vista to the next, from wide, shimmering deserts to foggy canyons to staggering, snow-peaked mountaintops.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; background: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; background: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-US\"\u003eDeerhoof is not one of those quotational, ironic, postmodern bands that pervaded indie rock for so long. Maybe that's because they're so clearly in love with the power of music, and are such incredible musicians and composers. Yeah, I said \"composers\" — there's a symphonic conception at work here, entire worlds within chords, genius hooks that may or may not swing by again, a programmatic, narrative flow that takes us from one place and drops us off in another, like an exhilarating abduction. As Mike Watt once said of his band the Minutemen, Deerhoof doesn't write songs, they write rivers. They're still episodic — but those episodes flow by more fluidly, less concatenations of ideas than inspired blurts that came out fully formed, and strong at broken places. It's got its own logic, as if they dream this stuff and somehow remember what they dreamt and forge it into music before it evaporates from their minds. And the numinous center of it all is \"Whither the Invisible,\" with main singer Satomi Matsuzaki as a child-like voice wandering in an enchanted Miyazaki forest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; background: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; background: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-US\"\u003eWhere on earth does this stuff come from?

Performing on banjo, he began the collaboration with his song “Fungus Shui.” “I chose that one because it’s about plant medicine,” Pinkus explains. “I thought it would be fitting — but that’s when I thought I was going to be the one tellin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003eg the plants what to do.” That assumption quickly dissolved. “I had to actually let the plants play the song, and I had to play the plants.” Pinkus set his banjo aside and began watering and gently handling the leaves, as the Sound Sanctuary’s output shifted from dissonance into a warm purr. “You could actually hear a change in what was coming out of the plants,” he reflects.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props=\"{}\" style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19.55px; font-family: Arial, 'Arial_EmbeddedFont', 'Arial_MSFontService', sans-serif;\" class=\"EOP SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"direction: ltr;\" class=\"OutlineElement Ltr SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; text-indent: 0px;\" class=\"Paragraph SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TextRun SCXW222973129 BCX2\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19.55px; font-family: Arial, 'Arial_EmbeddedFont', 'Arial_MSFontService', sans-serif;\" data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props=\"{}\" style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19.55px; font-family: Arial, 'Arial_EmbeddedFont', 'Arial_MSFontService', sans-serif;\" class=\"EOP SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"direction: ltr;\" class=\"OutlineElement Ltr SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; text-indent: 0px;\" class=\"Paragraph SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TextRun SCXW222973129 BCX2\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19.55px; font-family: Arial, 'Arial_EmbeddedFont', 'Arial_MSFontService', sans-serif;\" data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003eIn contrast, \u003cstrong\u003eDeerhoof\u003c\/strong\u003e approached the session with force rather than reverence.

He approached the session with skepticism, shaped in part by conversations with his wife, an environmental ethicist, about the limits of human-centered interpretations of nature. “She’s doubtful that the plants even know that we’re there,” Ishibashi says. That skepticism, however, did not prevent him from engaging with the experience. Instead, it shifted his attention away from intention and toward shared conditions. “Some \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003eof this is spiritual to think about,” he adds. “We’re sharing carbon dioxide with them, and they breathe it in.” For him, the Sound Sanctuary becomes “a reminder that we’re interconnected with our entire planet,” and of how easily that dependence is forgotten.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props=\"{}\" style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19.55px; font-family: Arial, 'Arial_EmbeddedFont', 'Arial_MSFontService', sans-serif;\" class=\"EOP SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"direction: ltr;\" class=\"OutlineElement Ltr SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; text-indent: 0px;\" class=\"Paragraph SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TextRun SCXW222973129 BCX2\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19.55px; font-family: Arial, 'Arial_EmbeddedFont', 'Arial_MSFontService', sans-serif;\" data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props=\"{}\" style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19.55px; font-family: Arial, 'Arial_EmbeddedFont', 'Arial_MSFontService', sans-serif;\" class=\"EOP SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"direction: ltr;\" class=\"OutlineElement Ltr SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; color: windowtext; text-align: left; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; text-indent: 0px;\" class=\"Paragraph SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TextRun SCXW222973129 BCX2\" lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19.55px; font-family: Arial, 'Arial_EmbeddedFont', 'Arial_MSFontService', sans-serif;\" data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW222973129 BCX2\"\u003eThe Sound Sanctuary lives within the Church of Noise, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded by Joyful Noise Recordings to support adventurous, independent musicians.
