Deerhoof dropped a new covers album on Monday called Love-Lore containing a whopping 43 songs.
Premiering it initially during a listening party, Deerhoof covered songs on the album by The Beach Boys, Kraftwerk and The Velvet Underground, to name a few. Previously, the band had already released three albums this year: the b-sides compilation Surprise Symphonies, a new studio LP called Future Teenage Cave Artists and a Bandcamp record, To Be Surrounded By Beautiful, Curious, Breathing, Laughing Flesh Is Enough, benefitting Black Lives Matter.
Love-Lore was recorded live in one afternoon on the Lower East Side of NYC, adding to the spontaneity behind its release process. It’s currently available as a digital version for free on their website here, and the paid physical edition includes a limited-edition poster created by bassist Satomi Matsuzaki.
