: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Normal is never coming back. Whether by a collective dismantling :,
: or sheer collapse, our old illusions are being hollowed out. :
:' Over the past couple of years, Deerhoof has been asking ':
,: themselves if there was any music they could create that :,
: expressed how the rapidly changing future might actually feel. :
:' The finished product, Future Teenage Cave Artists, finds ':
,: Deerhoof in a revolutionary mood, but also haunted by memories :,
: of a lost world and every failed attempt to save it. People :
:' already cut loose from the system, already surviving with new ':
,: ways of lifeùthese hopeful heroes are DeerhoofÆs inspiration. :,
: These are the Future Teenage Cave Artists. :
:' ':
,: Faithful listeners will recognize a certain alienated but :,
: transformational figure who shows up in Deerhoof songs going :
:' back to their earliest days. Take the narrator of ôThe Perfect ':
,: Meö from 2007Æs Friend Opportunity: an orphaned but eager soul :,
: attempting to entice other wounded wanderers who might lack a :
:' home, a clan, a family, a history. But on Future Teenage Cave ':
,: Artists our protagonist is threatened by terror lurking around :,
: every corner. Add to that the fact that our ôcast-off queen,ö :
:' our ômaniac,ö our ôterrible daughterö are watching themselves ':
,: get orphaned in real time by an older generation in power that :,
: would rather see life on Earth destroyed than give up archaic :
:' systems of capital. ':
,: :,
: Like a lot of the inimitable music they have released over the :
:' last quarter-century, the Deerhoof of Future Teenage Cave ':
,: Artists (Satomi Matsuzaki on bass and vocals, Ed Rodriguez and :,
: John Dieterich on guitars, and Greg Saunier on drums, vocals and :
:' piano) stitches together fragments of R&B and classic rock and ':
,: transforms them into a new language of revolution, forgoing :,
: verse-chorus structures for dream logic and blind intuition. But :
:' what makes this album different is its intimacyùthe blues riffs ':
,: and slide guitars are joined by soft, rickety pianos and :,
: whispered three-part harmonies. :
:' ':
,: In this sense, FTCA inverts the formula of DeerhoofÆs last :,
: album, Mountain Moves, which invited a wide community of :
:' collaborators to band together in an open celebration of ':
,: solidarity. The new one, on the other hand, is borne of :,
: self-isolation and deprivation. ItÆs the sound of a sparkling, :
:' manic musical intelligence being disconnected from a nourishing ':
,: public and devouring itself inside its own cocoon: a desperate :,
: lunge at metamorphosis. :
:' ':
,: At times FTCA indeed sounds as if the band has retreated to the :,
: caves, recording with unreliable electricity and insecure food :
:' supplies. Guitar pedals malfunction mid-take, reverbs chop off ':
,: mid-tail, drum fills collapse mid-phrase. Some musical moments, :,
: as gorgeous and touching as anything Deerhoof has ever written, :
:' stop short for no apparent reason, giving way to queasy smudges ':
,: of sound. Many of the instruments and voices were recorded with :,
: nothing more than the built-in mic of a laptop. Harsh splices :
:' make no effort to hide the seams. Hard panning leaves many of ':
,: these imperfections weirdly naked in the mix. :,
: :
:' In this way FTCA joins a storied lineage of pop records that ':
,: expose the insular and reclusive nature of recording itself. :,
: Like Let It Be, There's a Riot Goin' On, or Sister Lovers, this :
:' record is its own ômaking-of.ö Absence is a central character ':
,: in the drama. For every heartwarming melody or pile-up of parade :,
: drums or shard of loopy guitar noise, there is musical :
:' acknowledgement of the toll that a constant threat of cataclysm ':
,: takes on mental health. This is a sonic and lyric funeral for a :,
: way of life that is never coming backùan afterparty, back when :
:' the doomsday clock hit midnight. There are raucous toasts to ':
,: the departed in high style, as sassy and spasmodic as anything :,
: they've doneùsee Side A; there are moments of profound sadness, :
:' maximally small, descending into madness, shrieking with ':
,: lossùsee Side B. All funerals remind us that life goes on, :,
: somehow. :
:' ':
,: In that time after the end times, itÆs not only the food :,
: systems, energy systems, and political systems that will have to :
:' be rebuilt. Myths, stories, and rituals we use to make sense of ':
,: the world are up for revision, too. Might not agile networks of :,
: mutual aid be our best example of civilization, and our :
:' makeshift DIY basement shows be the real high art? One answer ':
,: might be found in the two-and-a-half decades that this :,
: improbable combination of personalities and backgrounds we call :
:' Deerhoof has spent on stage, cultivating quick-wittedness and ':
,: improvisation. This is a record about resilience and the :,
: persistence of hope in a future beyond any reasonable :
:' justification for it. Like so many young people today, Deerhoof ':
,: seems to be already living in that future. :,
