I'm as excited about the new Deerhoof album — Offend Maggie, due October 7 on Kill Rock Stars — as anyone else, but now I have some gripes. First, the title track, "Offend Maggie," has premiered on AOL's Spinner site for free download. Pshh! Big whoop! What happened to waiting for the actual album to come out, huh? Even more maddening, and I guess to counteract this uncertain offensiveness directed...

Things Jeff Hanson has in common with Elliott Smith: He's signed to Kill Rock Stars. He makes lo-fi recordings with a wispy falsetto that, at times, is a dead ringer for the spindly vocal stylings of the late, great E.S. His facial structure is similar to Elliott's. And his third full-length albu...

The first song on the forthcoming Deerhoof album, Offend Maggie ( out Oct. 7 on Kill Rock Stars ), is a beefily ethereal (or is it ethereally beefy') rocker, with the beloved Bay Area indie band's guitars sounding more robust than usual, like Keith Richards after an intensive weightlifting regimen. Pitchfork has the premiere of it, a live in Japan performance of the tune.

With the crazy digital animation we're seeing in videos, this Clyde Peterson-directed clip for the first from Jeff Hanson's new Kill Rock Stars record is charmingly old school. Old school as in elementary school: "If Only I Knew" is nothing but stop-motion construction-paper cutouts of the birds and the bees and Jeff coming to grips with a shitty Dear John letter. Fortunately for him, birds happen...

On September 9th, Kill Rock Stars will release the new Horse Feathers record, House With No Home. It’s hard to forget a group whose 2006 release Words Are Dead landed on our 2006 list of favorite albums. I’ve yet to invest proper headphone time with the new record, but if the first single “Curs In [...]

A little while ago I revealed that Portland's Horse Feathers would be releasing a new album in September, a follow up to 2006's wonderful "Words Are Dead". Kill Rock Stars will be releasing "House With No Home" on September 9 and it contains 11 tracks. All of them sure to be pure gold, I hope.
