Gareth Liddiard (Tropical Fuck Storm/The Drones), Jim White (Dirty Three/Xylouris White) and Chris Abrahams (The Necks) are Springtime - a new endeavor that is as much a tonal experiment as it is a meditation on modern-day absurdity.

Joyful Noise (LP) Kishi Bashi - Emigrant EP (mountain spring clear)

October 22 street date. Over eighteen boundless albums as experimental as they are pop, Deerhoof has continuously quested for radical sounds and daring storytelling.

The third album from the avant-punk quad-aptly titled Deep States-mines familiar ground as well as new cultural terrains, while digging deeper into the subjective state of contemporary panic.

"Reason To Live" is shambolic and grand yet intimate and doting, warmly acoustic and crackling with grit. By folding the many facets of his life into one package, "Reason To Live" radiates with a renewed balance and calm.

Crover (drummer/bassist for the Melvins) takes the solo thing seriously: he wrote the album while on the road and provided vocals, drums, guitars, vibraphone, and miscellaneous percussion.
