We love this song. We don’t truly know what it is about. Is it about a miracle? Is it about a haunted forest during a thunderstorm, with little ghostly animals all around? @satomixevil3 , can you tell us? What we do know is that it’s a beautiful song. Shugorei, with students of the @qldcon are honoured to present this version. Thank you, @deerhoof , you are amongst the greats.
For Greg Saunier, drummer, vocalist and founding member of @deerhoof , the motivation to return to Australia to play for the first time in ten years is a simple matter: sharing a musical moment with strangers on the other side of the planet can be a magical experience.
Rolling Stone AU/NZ caught up with Saunier to discuss the band’s current Australian tour, which continues in Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth this weekend.

Touring musicians still have to be careful about covid. Infection means cancelling shows (for which money has already been spent), and of course risking longterm health. Deerhoof has really appreciated everyone's effort to wear masks at our shows. Your care has been inspiring!
Numerous recent studies have shown that masking, especially with a quality respirator, significantly reduces transmission of airborne respiratory infections including covid. This article explains why this overwhelming evidence is so widely misunderstood:

For nearly 20 years, Satomi, John, Chris Cohen and I never really sat down to talk about the last album we all made together, The Runners Four. In this podcast we go song by song trying to remember what it was like. This was quite funny and very touching.
Listen at "Life of the Record"

Deerhoof’s THE RUNNERS FOUR is a fascinating result of a band obsessively recording for many months in their practice space. We spoke to Greg Saunier, Satomi Matsuzaki, John Dieterich and Chris Cohen about how it was made and the toll it took.
