AFTER 28 YEARS, DEERHOOF RECORDS THEIR STUDIO DEBUT AND IT’S ALL IN JAPANESE

Sit down, let me tell you a story. We look at the state of the world and think, “It’ll be a miracle if we survive.” But miracles are what humans do as our planet’s most inventive and unpredictable species.

Miracle-Level is Deerhoof’s mystical manifesto on creativity and trust, its answer to the artificial industries of deception, coercion, and boredom we’re forced to put up with. Deerhoof’s 19th album is also their first to be recorded and mixed in a recording studio.

Not because they had tired of their anarchic sound, but because they wanted to open their secretive DIY comfort zone up to something new and uncomfortable. Our research has not turned up many examples of a DIY band waiting 28 years to entrust their record to a proper producer. But in summer 2022 Deerhoof decided to take a chance.

“Seemingly out of nowhere, I was presented with a miracle-level opportunity to produce Deerhoof,” says Mike Bridavsky, a total stranger to the band until Joyful Noise founder Karl Hofstetter suggested him. “Two consecutive weeks at No Fun Club in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I began listening through their albums and realized: I have no fucking idea how to
make a Deerhoof record. Did anyone? They’d assembled a catalog of thoughtful, wild, and unique records, each different from the one before.

Don't sleep on this friends, this will be a truly wonderful show - not to be missed!
