S orti January 25 at Polyvinyl / ATP Vs Evil Deerhoof is the 10th album from Deerhoof DIY .
How to understand a new album from Deerhoof? We did not apprehend but suffered the madness of this inventive group that has made a name among the American indie scene.
At the time Deerhoof record coming out a year, records mixing all genres and often unclassifiable, one could expect some changes since this album came out 3 years after Offend Maggie in 2008.
The album was leaked voluntarily tracks by tracks through different sites. In France, it MagicRPM who undertook the job.
Deerhoof is "an experimental band Minus All The Things you hate about experimental" . As I'm pretty resistant to anything that is experimental and cerebral that I love Deerhoof, I do not agree that it is tagged "experimental " either. We can compare this group to easily Fiery Furnaces, Matthew Friedberger the brain also has some way to deconstruct his compositions.
Pieces of Deerhoof however without much piano as the family Friedberger, and are much more noisy at times.
These two groups are certainly the most exciting American bands to listen to, but above the 15-year career of Deerhoof are a real treat for someone who deeply bored with music these days.
Tracklist:
01. Who Dorm, Nomes Somia
02. Behold A Marvel In The Darkness
03. The Merry Barracks
04. No One Asked To Dance
05. Let's Dance The Jet
06. Super Duper Rescue Heads!
07. Current
Must Fight 08. Secret Mobilization
09. Hey I Can
10. C'Moon
11. Crimes I Did For You
12. Almost Everyone, Almost Always
As usual, the album by Deerhoof have no particular guideline, it goes in all directions with semi-acoustic pop songs (No One Asked To Dance, Crimes I Did For You ), the experimental electronic tinged (I Can Hey, Almost Everyone Almost Always) or other oddities usual unstructured ( Who Dorm Nomes Somia, The Merry Barracks ) .
However, this album is not too much a demonstration of the potential Greg Saunier , the drummer, who is a monster live and on albums like Apple O 'Milk Man or (only the end of Mobilization secret is a little nervous).
We realize this pretty quickly with the Deluxe version with two live tracks: Panda Panda Panda and You Can not Sit Down , all extracted from a 2 Live in New York: A big slaughter.
What I really enjoyed this disc, are pieces almost affordable by anyone: Behold A Marvel In The Darkness and Super Duper Rescue Heads! Satomi Matsuzaki sings where always a way too adorable. Moreover, it has retained a youthful voice over the years, which is also one of the charms of the group.
Another remarkable quality mix of the album, was recorded and produced entirely by the group itself and the result is rather remarkable. Let's Dance the Jet is a good instrumental song where the band played a small jam nice.
To listen on Spotify : Behold A Marvel In Darkness, No One Asked To Dance, Let's Dance The Jet, Super Duper Rescue Heads! Secret Mobilization, Hey I Can
Verdict:
Over time, Deerhoof continues to produce great records never be totally bluffing, or disappointing.
Personally, I find this CD very affordable and one of the most pop ever created by the group of San Francisco: Not too noisy and Satomi has a voice still slender.
is not the disk that will increase the number of fans by the thousands, but add to the long Deerhoof discography, this disc is clearly his place beside Friend Opportunity, or Apple Milk Man O '.
At the beginning of the year, the audacity of this group brings a certain freshness, like the solo album from Matthew Friedberger, who faced the challenge of out 1 album per month: the nuts!
Deerhoof will make a big French tour in April, including a date at the Maroquinerie April 19, 2011 !
