This year, the genre-bending American band Deerhoof released its first single, "Immigrant Songs," off its new album. And it launched it, not on any of the usual platforms, but on Craigslist. Lead singer Satomi Matsuzaki joined Meklit Hadero on the podcast "Movement," telling stories of music and migration, to break down her band's commentary on immigration, how it connects to her personal experience and how she uses her voice to get her point across.
