Deerhoof today released “My Lovely Cat,” their new single dedicated to world famous cat Lil Bub, recorded and mixed by Mike Bridavsky at Winnipeg, Canada’s No Fun Club, and mastered by Bridavsky at Russian Recording. With lyrics written and sung in Japanese by Satomi Matsuzaki (who also illustrated its adorable artwork), “My Lovely Cat” is as groovy as it is bittersweet, and marks Deerhoof’s first new music since their acclaimed 2021 LP, Actually, You Can (Joyful Noise Recordings).
“If you were going to compose a song about a cute cat from the internet, and then track down the guy known for their cute cat from the internet to produce it, you would be shrewd indeed. This we did not do, because we didn't know about Mike Bridavsky or Lil Bub when we wrote the song. Well, we think about him now: a true collaborator and artist and friend!” - Deerhoof
Deerhoof are playing select headline west coast dates this fall, including a show at LA’s Regent Theater on October 23rd (a full itinerary is listed below).
