All work and no play does not make Deerhoof a dull band, apparently. Meaning that the ever-prolific band continue to be involved in interesting projects. Before you can say “redrum” over and over again in a creepy voice, the band have announced a new 7-inch EP where they cover songs from Stanley Kubrick’s classic 1980 horror film The Shining. 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). The A-side is a cover of Béla Bartók’s “Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta,” also from the movie. Deerhoof Plays Music of The Shining is due out October 27 via Famous Class. Check out “Midnight, The Stars and You” below, followed by the 7-inch’s cover art.

The band issued this statement about the 7-inch:

“Deerhoof plays the music of the shining. Deerhoof plays

the music of the shining. Deerhoof plays the music of the shining. Deerhoof plays the music of the shining.

Deerhoof plays the music
of the shining. Deerhoof

plays the music of the shining. Deerhoof plays the music of the shining. Deerhoof plays the music of

the shining.”
