As a "thank you" to fans for supporting their video-rich 10th album Offend Maggie, and as a promotional tie-in to get the word out to those who haven't, Deerhoof have made one of its tracks "My Purple Past" available as a lossless .wav file.

Take a listen and see if your keen (dog) ears can pick up some new subtleties.
