Via Polyvinyl:

Deerhoof drummer Greg here to introduce you to our latest record.

We’ve been called a lot of things, as you know. But pop has always marked the spot on the Deerhoof treasure map.

Pop = catchy

Pop = new

Pop = no rules

So if you want to go dancing or do karaoke with Deerhoof, you don’t have to ask twice.

We’ve just finished a sensational record of Cuban-flavored party-noise-energy music. We called it Breakup Song, but don’t expect a bunch of Grammy®-baiting sob stories, OK? In Deerhoof’s thesaurus, freedom’s just another word for feeling good again and raising hell and getting away with it. Stick with us and the bad guys with guns will never catch up.

– Greg
