Deerhoof play with a primal abandon and molten group chemistry that remains untamed since the band's early days. Still, at nearly twice the length of their previous albums, The Runners Four is more complex and challenging than anything they've recorded. This is more than rock; it's a wholesale rewrite of the rock and roll dictionary. Deerhoof herald the era of the defiant DIY album. The Runners Four: a quartet of racers, chasers, messengers, even smugglers, gleefully smashing through outmoded    [ read more ]

Insound Staff Pick - 2008! There's a symphonic conception at work here, entire worlds within chords, genius hooks that may or may not swing by again, a programmatic, narrative flow that takes us from one place and drops us off in another, like an exhilarating abduction. Just as importantly, you can hear how the band took a little something from each of the bands they'd toured with - Radiohead, The Roots, and Wilco - though they don't sound like any of them.

Their sixth album. With its outrageous, almost indescribable sounds -- somewhere between Outkast and Cats -- Milk Man is Deerhoof's most classic and audaciously forward-looking creation. Repeated listens reveal something that sets it along such timeless concept albums as The Kinks' Village Green Preservation Society,"Duke Ellington's Mood Indigo, and ZZ Top's Eliminator. (If we're comparing it to ZZ Top, you know it's gotta be good.) These San Franciscan poster-children-for-dream   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Insound Staff Pick - 2008! Say what you will about Deerhoof, but they know how to write a beautiful song. And "Offend Maggie" is all the more beautiful for the fact that it seems to come out of nowhere. For all its sparkling musicanship, it sounds casually tossed off like it was nothing at all. It's a new sound for the band as much as it's a new sound for pop music. While John Dieterich's acoustic guitar seems to channel Malian guitarist Ali Farka Toure, Ed Rodriguez's elec   [ read more ]

For over ten years Deerhoof, from San Francisco, have been morphing their vision of music. As it's happening you sometimes don't realize, but when you look back you can clearly see where direction changed. In the current Deerhoof, that bridge is known as Green Cosmos. These seven new songs were originally recorded and intended for a Japanese audience, and was to be released as a split EP only in Japan... Deerhoof decided in the end to release it on it's own and worldwide. The current Deerhoof lineup    [ read more ]

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   [ read more ]
