So Polyvinyl has been doing this series of seven inches where different artists write lyrics and perform them over a Deerhoof instrumental, and then perform one of their own songs on the b-side. I had somehow been oblivious to all of this until I happened upon this collaboration with David Bazan (aka Pedro the Lion). Bazan adds lyrics to the Deerhoof track "No One Asked to Dance", a slightly proggy song...it sounds really weird hearing that deep Pedro the Lion voice singing over a slightly skronky song. Not bad, just odd. The b-side is apparently a re-working of one of his songs with Headphones, but I've not listened to Headphones much so I'll take their word for it. Worth seeking out if you are already a fan of these performers.
