Deerhoof & Ryley Walker (Co-headline)
£18.00 adv.
Over eighteen boundless albums as experimental as they are pop,Deerhoof has continuously quested for daring storytelling and radicalsounds, creating a new shared language of revolution. 2020’s critically acclaimed, overwhelmingly prescientFuture Teenage Cave Artists explored fairytale visions of post-apocalypse, welding intrinsic melodies with absurdist digital recording methods. Its immediate sequelLove-Lore,a live covers medley, channeled futurist mid-century artists—Parliament,Sun Ra and Stockhausen, to name a handful— into a patchwork love letterto the anti-authoritarian expressions that inspire the band.
Deerhoof's latest,Actually, You Can,is a genre-abundant record that uses technicolor vibrancy and arpeggiated muscularity to offer a vital shockfrom capitalism’s purgatorial hold. The band says, “Think of all the beauty,positivity and love that gets deemed ugly, negative and hateful by the self-proclaimed guardians of 'common sense.' We'd hardly be destroying society by dismantling their colonial economics and prisons and gender roles and aesthetics. We'd be creating it!”
