Deerhoof – Come Down Here & Say That / The Devil and his Anarchic Surrealist Retinue

December 5, 2017 Peter Kimpton
 Deerhoof

Deerhoof

Our continuing theme certainly behooves a song or two from this wonderfully quirky band hailing from San Francisco. It's clever offbeat indie that continuously changes pace with brilliant drumming from founder Greg Saunier with bassist and distinctively gentle-voiced Japanese singer Satomi Matsuzaki, and current guitarists John Dieterich and Ed Rodriguez, their work is never without innovation and musical humour. The first track comes from their latest and 14th studio album this year, Mountain Moves, and features guest vocals from Stereolab's Lætitia Sadier. The second comes from 2016's album Magic.
