Deerhoof Drop Surprise New Covers Album, ‘Love-Lore’


Following a listening party on Monday, Deerhoof dropped a surprise new album, Love-Lore, via Joyful Noise Recordings.

Love-Lore was recorded live in the studio over a single afternoon at Rivington Rehearsal Studios in New York City. The album contains a medley of 43 covers, which range from the Velvet Underground to Krzysztof Penderecki.

Muindi Fanuel Muindi wrote an essay to accompany the release, while Benjamin Piekut wrote the liner notes. “Deerhoof is not the future of music and doesn’t want to be — they simply want to embrace you, here and now, in the present,” Muindi wrote. “Love-Lore is a funeral for futures obliterated by projections from a toxic past.”

Love-Lore marks the band’s second album this year, following Future Teenage Cave Artists. It’s currently available for free on Bandcamp, Joyful Noise and their website. A limited-edition poster with artwork by bassist/vocalist Satomi Matsuzaki, the tracklist and Muindi’s essay are for sale.
