Deerhoof is an avant-garde noise pop band renowned for their inventive style that merges dissonant punk rock with quirky and experimental elements. Formed in San Francisco in 1994, the band originally started as a duo consisting of Rob Fisk and Greg Saunier, but has since evolved both in its lineup and musical approach. Over the years, members such as Satomi Matsuzaki, who joined in 1995 and remains the group's bassist and lead vocalist, and guitarists John Dieterich and Ed Rodriguez, have solidified the core that defines Deerhoof's idiosyncratic sound.

Deerhoof's discography is a testament to their ever-evolving creative spirit, with each album showcasing a willingness to explore, deconstruct, and reinvent. Notable among their recent releases are "Future Teenage Cave Artists," an album that reflects on an apocalyptic yet tender vision of the future, and "Actually, You Can," a record that seems to dismantle the constraints of genre with its harmonic complexities and liberated lyrical expressions. Unconstrained by conventions, Deerhoof employs collaboration as a means of innovation, as evidenced in tracks like "I Will Spite Survive" featuring Jenn Wasner and "Your Dystopic Creation Doesn't Fear You" with Awkwafina. Their work, while acknowledging the darker aspects of existence, often bursts with a rebellious joy, solidifying their place as a band that consistently reimagines what rock music can be.
