Release Notes:
Available early from their bandcamp!
Experiencing one emotion at a time is a luxury of the past. Think back to that
moment at the women's march or the pro-science rally, when you spied a small
child holding a handmade sign that read "I love naps but I stay woke" or "Boys
will be boys good humans" or "May the facts be with you." How adorable! How
upsetting! How the hell are they going to make it to adulthood in this toxic
environment?
Deerhoof is right there with you. They recognize that we are simultaneously
living in two worlds, one a maniacal, mainstream monoculture hell-bent on
driving humankind into extinction, the other a churning underground teeming with
ideas and dogged optimism and the will to thrive and survive. Mountain Moves
refutes the former by ecstatically celebrating the latter.
Though Deerhoof have often made albums from start to finish with virtually no
input from the outside world, now is not the time for artists to operate in
isolation. Mountain Moves throws the doors wide open. Working quickly, the band
invited myriad guests to participate, some of them dear friends, others
practically strangers. They are of different ages, different nationalities,
different disciplines. The only common thread was that each and every artist on
Mountain Moves doesn't fit into a single, neatly-defined category û and doesn't
wish to.
The results, as expected, were unexpected. Guide vocals and simple melodies were
dispatched via email, only to be answered with an outpouring of alternate
harmonies, suggestions for arrangements, additional instrumentation. Every file
received triggered a new rush of jumbled emotions. Some guests crafted their
contributions in the small hours of the dawn, toiling in hotel rooms before
driving eight hours to the next tour date; others hopped on the subway and
recorded with the band in-person.
Collisions and collusions abound on Mountain Moves. In addition to its bounty of
originals, the program includes three covers that epitomize the album's
assemblage of disparate ideas and personalities. Reducing Bob Marley's "Small
Axe" to a beat-less fragment of hymn-like simplicity magnifies the song's
rebellious spirit and undercurrent of violence. Deerhoof vocalist Satomi
Matsuzaki, a Japanese immigrant, lifts the Staple Singers' "Freedom Highway" out
of its original place and time, imbuing it with a new sense of alienation from
one's own country. Snippets of the bass recitative "For behold, darkness shall
cover the earth" from Handel's Messiah provide the foundation for a fresh take
on Chilean folk hero Violeta Parra's bittersweet masterpiece "Gracias a la
Vida."
Adventures outside the United States also informed the making of Mountain Moves.
During a recent visit to Brazil, the band was astonished to see how
enthusiastically audiences at concerts sang, danced, and reveled û a cultural
response, they learned, to the scarcity of resources for all but the nation's
wealthiest elites. Elsewhere, the experience of confronting unfamiliar audiences
of fired-up Red Hot Chili Peppers fans taught them that one of their greatest
skills û the ability to recalibrate their sound nightly to suit a particular
venue û wasn't limited to basements or small clubs. The broader strokes of
Mountain Moves sprang forth from lessons learned while trying to engage
audiences of 20,000+ across the vast distances of Northern European sporting
arenas.
If Mountain Moves were a movie, it would be a double feature, Journey to the
Center of the Deerhoof and Escape from Planet Deerhoof, shown side-by-side
simultaneously. The record epitomizes the band at its very best, exploring new
realms between the poles of independence and invention. It also serves as a
welcoming point of entry for new listeners outside Deerhoof's traditional orbit,
an opportunity to bring even more voices into the communal conversation. We're
all in this together.
Deerhoof is John Dieterich, Satomi Matsuzaki, Ed Rodriguez and Greg Saunier. The
only thing they see eye-to-eye on is the freedom to not see eye-to-eye. Their
guests on Mountain Moves include Awkwafina, Juana Molina, Mantana Roberts, Xenia
Rubinos, Lµtitia Sadier, and Jenn Wasner. Together, they made this record for
you. For all of us.
