Half Bird (CD)
Deerhoof rock with the fury of 1000 suns, cacophonous and dangerous, but they're also the masters of "quiet-loud," the idea that moments, though soft in decibels, can be incredibly and sonically deafening, that pure beauty has a loudness all its own. Greg's drumming is nothing short of spectacular and inspired, the guitar chunks, the bass roars, Satomi's vocals make you tingle. They've got the chemistry scientists long for, and although they accept fan mail on this planet, Deerhoof are from another one, and on this, their fourth full-length, they've offered arguably their best record to date. There was careful attention paid to detail, the fawning over of ideas, and the notion that this would be a complete album, a transporting album, and when inspired beauty seeps, it's impossible to contain.
