"On this album, Deerhoof get into your veins, smash the ice off of your broken heart, inject some saccharine bounce, and get out again without a moment of hesitation. They’ve discovered the Deerhoof way to fuse synths and a pack of jazzy trumpets onto their art-pop exoskeleton, all without losing what made them, them. Anyone capable of naming a song “Mario’s Flaming Whiskers III”– and fitting that unwieldy title into an instantly memorable melody– deserves serious praise, and that’s just one of Breakup Song‘s many ecstatic charms."--Adam Kivel, CoS

"Deerhoof drummer Greg here to introduce you to our latest record. We've been called a lot of things, as you know. But pop has always marked the spot on the Deerhoof treasure map.

Pop = Catchy
Pop = New
Pop = No rules

If you want to come dance or sing karaoke with Deerhoof, you don't have to ask twice. We've just finished a sensational record of Cuban-flavored party-noise-energy music. We called it Breakup Song, but don't expect a bunch of Grammy®-baiting sob stories, OK? In Deerhoof's thesaurus, freedom's just another word for feeling good again and raising hell and getting away with it. Stick with us and the bad guys with guns will never catch up." - Deerhoof
