Deerhoof’s 13th album was released to accolades bleeding across borders. La Isla Bonita is at once their most punk and commercially accessible record to date, currently reigning at #3 on the CMJ Top 200 Chart, and #5 in the Billboard Top Vinyl Albums. Not bad for a low-budget DIY punk band celebrating their 20th year.
This week they announced an international tour taking them through the U.S., Europe and Japan including a stop at SXSW 2015.
