Deerhoof drops new album Divine Schism and “Sun Like It Hot”
The music world is full of bands that follow the predictable path, but some artists choose to forge their own unconventional routes. Deerhoof is a prime example of a group that has consistently prioritized artistic freedom over commercial expectation, navigating the shifting sands of the industry with a distinct, deliberate pace.
Last year marked a significant moment for the band, as they released their 20th studio album, Noble And Godlike In Ruin. This release was announced through a decidedly grassroots channel, grabbing attention via Craigslist rather than mainstream platforms.
But the journey with Deerhoof isn’t just about the music; it’s about the choices they make in how they interact with the commercial landscape. Since that release, the band has made some radical shifts, opting out of major streaming platforms like Spotify to maintain full control over their artistic output.
This commitment to autonomy has led to some unique collaborations. Deerhoof has even teamed up with Joyful Noise office plants, blending their musical vision with a surprising and unexpected partnership.
Now, the band is poised to release their next body of work, announcing their forthcoming LP, Divine Schism. The buzz surrounding this new project is palpable, especially after the announcement highlighted the track “Sun Like It Hot”, hinting at the kind of intriguing sonic landscape they are bringing to listeners.
The news of their new album announcement, particularly the details about “Sun Like It Hot”, quickly caught the attention of music enthusiasts, making their way to major publications like Stereogum to share the story.
