About the album: LOVE-LORE is a 35-minute, 43 song live-in-the-studio medley of covers unlike anything Deerhoof or anyone else has ever put together. Love-Lore forages a wide-ranging selection of music from the 50s through the 80s to reflect upon the overly optimistic promises of progress that humanity was fed across the culture and music of the post-war era. Instead of the projected 21st century in which disease, racism, and inequality are obsolete and everyone has a flying car and robot maid, our current blasted landscape finds the men, women, and children of Earth at the brink of extermination. And at the same time, Deerhoof finds hope in the wisdom of some of that era's anti-establishment voices, particularly the Afro-futurists, whose seeds we now see beginning to grow into trees.
