Friend Opportunity
The story of Deerhoof is a long and complex one. Punctuated by band members leaving and angels arriving (Satomi – singer), audiences have nevertheless expanded as word about the wonderful complexity and energy of the Deerhoof sound has spread.
The title of their new album ‘Friend Opportunity’ is fitting as it could be described as an extended hand, a welcoming for those that may have considered Deerhoof ‘too “noise” for “pop”’.
Avatar
All the short-run CDRs, improv jams and general hippy mystique provided by the current wave of the “new, weird, America” certainly rock the mind, but rarely move the body. AVATAR is head music that rocks both. Previous Comet’s discs suggested a great live band but remained a tad arcane for your average squares (like ourselves) who require a little
groove in between all the psychedelia.
Below The Branches, Kelley Stoltz
Kelley Stoltz might be called the thirteenth Beach Boy, but that depends on whether you believe that Uncle Jesse from Full House was actually a member, or think that he was just a drummer. Regardless, Uncle Jesse was a great uncle and a fine husband, and was a huge influence on the band, particularly in their early days.
The Runners Four, Deerhoof
THE RUNNERS FOUR is the new album from enigmatic San Franciscan band Deerhoof. It is their first straight-up, look-you-in-the-eye guitar rock album and is said to be their finest to date. Taking cues from the likes of Wilco, and having toured with people from Sonic Youth to The Roots, Deerhoof is a band that melts barriers like rain melts hair product.
