Last year, Deerhoof provided the lead track to Tradi-Mods Vs. Rockers: Alternative Takes on Congotronics, a compilation that brought together independent Western artists with Congolese street musicians, which was released on Crammed Discs as part of their Congotronics series. This summer, that album will come to life when Deerhoof join Congotronics strongholds Kasai Allstars and Konono N°1 plus Congotronics producer Vincent Kenisas, as well as Wildbirds & Peacedrums, Juana Molina, and Skeletons member Matt Mehlan for a tour that will take them throughout Europe and Japan.
