Deerhoof - Noble And Godlike In Ruin (April 25). Joyful Noise says:

Deerhoof is back with a new record - it's called Noble and Godlike in Ruin and it's out everywhere on 4/25.

Today you can hear their new single "Immigrant Songs," which we are premiering on Craigslist. Find a link to hear the single at these Craigslist posts local to the band's whereabouts, including New York, Tucson, Portland, Minneapolis.

We're premiering the track on Craigslist to throw a finger up to the tech platforms that care only about data mining & the expansion of fascism.

“This song is kind of a sequel to Satomi describing her immigration tribulations in ‘Exit Only.’ It's what it feels like to see the discourse around immigration get so twisted. The most criminal and barbaric 'migrant horde' to invade America was from Europe. There's a sector of racialized, underpaid immigrants, doing labor white people won't, who are getting deported and dehumanized in record numbers in recent years. They are really the glue keeping our society from collapsing. It's these heroic fugitives, not millionaire politicians holding little signs with one hand while sending out fundraising emails about 'strengthening our borders' with the other, who actually have a thing or two to teach us all about how to resist and survive.” - Greg from Deerhoof

Matching the whimsical to the revolutionary, the beautiful to the horrific, Deerhoof's new album Noble and Godlike in Ruin provides a catharsis which liberates listeners from the inhumane world we’re forced to wrap our bamboozled, grief-stricken heads around. Their 20th album and follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2023 LP Miracle-Level was self-produced by the band and features Saul Williams on “Under Rats.”

We are very stoked to continue working with Deerhoof as their shocking prolificacy continues to yield amazing music. Noble and Godlike in Ruin will release on 4/25. Pre-orders are now open! The record will be available in VIP Edition "Grotesque Double Green" vinyl limited to 506 hand-numbered copies, standard edition Test Tube Green vinyl, CD, and cassette.
