It’s fittingly titled Deerhoof Plays Music of The Shining and they have shared its B-side, a cover of “Midnight, The Stars and You” (the original was by Ray Noble and His Orchestra, featuring vocals by Al Bowlly, and played in the ghostly ballroom scene in the movie).

Proving that the scientists over at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) are hipper than you maybe thought they might be, they recently invited Deerhoof to do an improvisational performance at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland. You know the one, where they are trying to ascertain the origins of the universe and have been conducting amazing experiments in particle physics since it opened in 2008 (when it was once feared it might tear a whole in time and space when activated or something like that).

By Matt Fink
On July 11, 2016, Democratic nominee for president Bernie Sanders officially endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, thereby ending one of the unlikeliest campaigns in American political history. It had been a remarkable run for the 74-year-old Vermont senator, going from barely registering in national polls to running neck and neck with Clinton throughout much of the primary. And, if public statements and Twitter endorsements are to be believed, the world of indie rock stood almost unanimously in their support for him. Vampire Weekend, TV on the Radio, Grizzly Bear-all performed for Sanders at his rallies. Killer Mike of Run the Jewels filmed interviews with Sanders to help spread his message. More

Few bands traversing the indie rock circuit are as prolific as Deerhoof: 18 albums over a quarter of a century—including three in the last two years. And no band matches their ability to draw from so many contrasting styles and influences while still creating something that sounds cohesive. On Actually, You Can, they alternate between chaotic math rock and hypnotic alternative, weaving an album that feels equal parts eclectic and spontaneous. More

Green Cosmos, Deerhoof’s 2005 EP, was a wildly varied record that featured Satomi Mastuzaki singing exclusively in her native Japanese.

By Hays Davis
Deerhoof had expanded from a trio to a quartet by the time of the recording of 2003’s Apple O’, and the members gelled for what would become some of their most memorable music to date. With guitarist Chris Cohen joining drummer Greg Saunier, singer/bassist Satomi Matsuzaki and guitarist John Dieterich, the songs evinced a new immediacy, veering from the electronic elements included in the previous year’s Reveille to more of a live-sounding, muscular approach.

I’m happy to say that Deerhoof is getting the popular appreciation that they deserve. A band whose sum is exponentially greater than its parts, Deerhoof has been blowing me away for years, and while critics have adored them, they have often been unfairly categorized as too difficult for the casual listener.
