Deerhoof -Deerhoof vs. Evil



Deerhoof vs. Evil

On January 25, 2011 Deerhoof released Deerhoof vs. Evil via Polyvinyl Records. The release of the album was preceded by a "Global Album Leak" during which a 12 blogs from several countries around the world premiered a song from the album one week at a time. [25]. As with the group's previous albums, Deerhoof vs. Evil received ample critical acclaim with publications such as MOJO calling it "an absolute joy" and Entertainment Weekly declaring it "as beautifully bizarre as ever."

The album also marked the beginning of a potential 7" series wherein a vocalist sings new lyrics over an instrumental of a song from the record on the A-side and provided a song from their own band on the B-side. So far, two 7"s have been released: the first with LA-based rapper Busdriver and his band Physical Forms (which includes a former member of The Mae Shi), and the second with Xiu Xiu.
