Deerhoof drop new EP and video

26 November 2012

Deerhoof released their eleventh studio album, Breakup Song, early in September via ATP Recordings and Polyvinyl. Fresh on the heels of that release, they have just started a European tour. Head over here to check all their stops.

Coinciding with the tour, the quartet have a new double A-side EP, ‘Mario’s Flaming Whiskers III’ / ‘There’s That Grin’. The EP is out today digitally, and a limited tape edition arrives on December 3rd via ATP Recordings.
Other than the two excellent tracks lifted from Breakup Song, the EP features a brand new track called ‘Just For That’, a live cover of Velvet Underground’s ‘All Tomorrow’s Parties’ and a Silver Apples remix of ‘Mario’s Flaming Dessert’.

Deerhoof are also offering a fittingly festive and mad video to compliment ‘Mario’s Flaming Whiskers III’. Richard Huntington Swanson directed it and you can watch it below.

21 November 2012

Ahleuchatistas, the North Carolina instrumental art-rock duo of Shane Perlowin and Ryan Oslance, dropped Heads Full of Poison, their seventh full-length album, a couple of months ago via Cuneiform Records and Harvest Records.

The pair, known for their improvisational flow, draw influences from varied genres. As the press release describes, Ahleuchatistas blend “elements of punk rock, jazz, classical music, speed metal, grindcore, progressive rock, noise, folk musics from Asia and North Africa, electronic music, and ambient aesthetics, along with volatile, unpredictable improvisation, flowing organically in a virtual world of their own.”

Ahleuchatistas premiered yesterday a video for ‘Lighted Stairs’, one of excellent tracks from Heads Full of Poison, directed by Courtney Chappell. Check it out beneath, and straight after listen to another cut off the album, the fierce, tribal and hypnotic ‘Wisps’.
