Deerhoof Say Thanks With Lossless Audio

thumbnail icon: Deerhoof Say Thanks With Lossless Audio

As a "thank you" to fans for supporting their video-rich 10th album Offend Maggie, and as a promotional tie-in to get the word out to those who haven't, Deerhoof have made one of its tracks "My Purple Past" available as a lossless .wav file. (Come to think of it, Offend Maggie was shutout of the 2008 Gummys. Strange? Or not so strange?) The song was handpicked by Greg Saunier. Satomi created dog art for the moment (see above). Take a listen and see if your keen (dog) ears can pick up some new subtleties.

You can access your purple present as a straight-up wav file or as a torrent.

Offend Maggie is out via Kill Rock Stars.

No, not strange, because this is the biggest piece of shit band on the planet. You can't just take a dump on your instruments in the studio and call it music.
