While there’s no news of a new album from the veteran Bay Area band, Deerhoof tour all the time, so it’s not all that surprising that they’ve announced a collection of dates in New York and all over the US West this fall. The announcement came via drummer (and occasional singer) Greg Saunier’s YouTube page, accompanied by a nifty stop-motion documentary of the band’s last tour (which happened earlier this year) assembled by their touring mate Liam Finn. The clip is set to the pluralized title track from 2012’s annual Deerhoof release, Breakup Song (TMT Review), and was recorded without the knowledge of the band. In addition to new tour dates, we’ve also learned today that you can still pull one over on the Hoof.
As mentioned above, TMT has no official news of new Deerhoof music, but using our highly sophisticated analytics systems and consulting with the official TMT psychic, we’re putting our money on a new album sometime soon. The band has released a new album or EP of some kind every year for the last 16 years, and while the lineup has changed gradually over that time, their output (and their initiative to support it via touring) hasn’t slowed down one bit.
If you go see them in November and they play new songs, then you’ll be validating the huge expense TMT undertakes to make these kind of prognostications, so please, dear reader, do your part.
