Deerhood

Out of my slurry speakers speaking to me about the deconstructed pop, composition noise rock eruptions screams the name: Deerhoof. So much has changed about them as much as it has stayed the same. Just being themselves almost standing alone in their own niche that takes my skull for a ride. From the noisy, glittering, jagged edge of Tiger Can off of their first full length, The Man, The King, The Girl, to the melted structured forms of Offend Maggie title track. Even ?uestlove of The Roots loves them and especially the drummer (both admit to be each other's favorite drummer). They never seem to stop amazing me. All of their albums were all crafted in different stages of their musicianship and influence. Member changes here and there kept their sound varied enough to keep it interesting throughout their career. I say that they are just as influential as Animal Collective or Dirty Projectors will show to be in the coming years. I think that if you are going to get into this band, just go through their discography backwards. The more you move back, the weirder, more lo-fi and noisier it gets. So start with Offend Maggie and look out for their upcoming release entitled Deerhoof vs. Evil. They are releasing a track each week so the world can slowly hear the album being leaked by them.
