Deerhoof – Actually, You Can [Limited Edition Olive Green Color Vinyl Record]

Description

Over eighteen boundless albums as experimental as they are pop, Deerhoof has continuously quested for radical sounds and daring storytelling. 2020s Future Teenage Cave Artists explored fairytale visions of post-apocalypse, welding intrinsic melodies with absurdist digital recording methods. Its sequel Love-Lore, a live covers medley, channeled futurist mid-century artistsParliament, Sun Ra and Stockhausen, to name a handful into a patchwork love letter to the anti-authoritarian expressions that inspire the band. Galvanized by the challenge of unifying many styles of music, Deerhoof landed on their next records concept: baroque gone DIY

Actually, You Can is a genre-abundant record that uses technicolor vibrancy and arpeggiated muscularity to offer a vital shock from capitalisms purgatorial hold. In the United States now, to be a moral person means to be a criminal, whether it has to do with a general strike or forming a union or Black Lives Matter protests, clarifies Saunier of the albums countercultural embrace of liberation. If you follow the rules, youre guilty. Thats the spirit we were trying to express: an angelic prison bust, a glamorous prison bust. Its a condemnation of Americas mundanity, replacing violence with the heartfelt power of mutualism.
