New Deerhoof – The Merry Barracks

After hearing the new track from Deerhoof, The Merry Barracks I’m quite excited. The new album ‘Deerhoof vs. Evil’ is due out January 2011 on Polyvinyl in the States and ATP Records in UK/Europe. The Merry Barracks kind of gives me the feeling that the new album will hark back to the sounds of ‘The Runners four’ but ya never know what Deerhoof will come out with next. Either way I’m quite happy with the loose sound of this and am excited for January.

You can download The Merry Barracks here.

This is great news, I haven’t seen Deerhoof since they played the Foggy Notions tent at Electric Picnic in 2007. It’ll be great to hear the new album, Offend Maggie live and see them back as a four piece for the first time in a while.
