Deerhoof

The latest album by Deerhoof, Miracle-Level, is catchy and squally and off-kilter, sometimes all at once, and in all the ways you want it to be. In a departure for the fiercely DIY artists, it’s their first album recorded entirely in a studio, and their first with lyrics entirely in Japanese. Opening is Madison quartet Interlay, who also stirs up a heap of post-punk energy and ably represented Wisconsin at SXSW in March; their most recent single is the speedy guitar banger “Androgynous,” from October 2022.
