Sugary melodies and distorted riffs fill the new track 'Fête d’Adieu' coming from San Francisco band Deerhoof.

San Francisco trio DEERHOOF release 'Fête d’Adieu', another single from their upcoming album Breakup Song. Satomi Matsuzaki’s bright and sweet vocals charms the hell out of your ears, but its intricacy lies in the subtle layers of soft grunge bass lines and simple but raw guitar melodies.

“We went for the Keith Richards-joins-ABBA vibe on this one,” drummer Greg Saunier told Rolling Stone. Driven by sugary melodies and distorted riffs, Fête d’Adieu follows on from DEERHOOF’s other single 'The Trouble' with Candyhands', in which both prove to be promising from the anticipated record. Breakup Song is released 4 September.
