The Check-In with Ed Rodriquez and John Dieterich of DEERHOOF

Ed Rodriquez and John Dieterich are the guitarists for Deerhoof. Though they branch out with other projects, they have both been dedicated to the band for over 20 years and are celebrating the bands 19th album Miracle-Level (out March 31st on Joyful Noise Recordings). As standard with Deerhoof, the new record shimmers with newness and is full of sonic and lyrical surprises, but what stands out most is that this is the first "studio record" they've recorded in their long career. In this episode John and Ed share the recording experience and the motivation behind it. We also learn how John and Ed's artistic and personal relationship formed, how music brought them together and why this bond is so important them. John Joe and Ed discuss the path of their early influences and how they rear their head in the music and life. John tells us about Pond Hockey and we hear a couple tunes from the new record.https://deerhoof.website/https://deerhoof.bandcamp.com/album/miracle-levelhttps://www.joyfulnoiserecordings.com/collections/deerhoof Mentioned in this episode:DistrokidSchecter GuitarsIzotope
