Deerhoof — Friend Opportunity Buy it at Amazon
This psychedelic indie rock band known simply as Deerhoof actually make you feel like you’re taking drugs while you listen to them. Post-modern stress-free experimental music that with use classic rock riffs one moment, circus music the next, and then drop acid into a symphony pop affair. Genius art rock that is intelligently written and deftly performed with a precision rarely found in music this complex. Comprehend it? Sure you can, but you better be prepared to really sit down and experience every moment that Deerhoof has to offer. Funky guitars that borrow from the ‘70’s are embraced with high-pitched child-like vocals from their Japanese vocalist Satomi Matsuzaki and weird soundscapes blessed with plenty of brass horns. You can’t get much different and special than this.
