Twenty tracks recorded in the bandÃs rehearsal space (for a more simplistic sound) that show an incredible growth in songwriting complexity, as the band continues to challenge the ears and break down the boundaries - Sealed in a picture sleeve with photos & lyrics printed inside. Tracks: 01 Chatterboxes 02 Twin Killers 03 Running Thoughts 04 Vivid Cheek Love Song 05 O'Malley, Former Underdog 06 Odyssey 07 Wrong Time Capsule 08 Spirit Ditties Of No Tone 09 Scream Team 10 You Can See 11 Midnight Bicycle Mystery 12 After Me The Deluge 13 Siriustar 14 Lemon And Little Lemon 15 Lightning Rod, Run 16 Bone-Dry 17 News From A Bird 18 Spy On You 19 You're Our Two 20 Rrrrrrrright Deerhoof play with a primal abandon and molten group chemistry that remains untamed since the band's early days. Still, at nearly twice the length of their previous albums, The Runners Four is more complex and challenging than anything they've recorded. This is more than rock; it's a wholesale rewrite of the rock and roll dictionary. Deerhoof herald the era of the defiant DIY album. The Runners Four: a quartet of racers, chasers, messengers, even smugglers, gleefully smashing through outmoded boundaries, bearing gifts of sonic contraband. This is Deerhoof's magnificent autobiography.
