Deerhoof - Friend Opportunity

Martial drums, hallucinating rhythms, hard-rock guitars, epileptic horns, seductive organs, strangely familiar melodies and a japanese voice coming directly from a manga cartoon. These are Deerhoof, an art-rock San Francisco collective already in their ninth album that I've just recently discovered and have fell in love with. One of those unique bands with a very much unique sound, experimental and futuristic, humurous and catchy, full of intricate details and odd structures, too exquisite at first but seducing in a strange and unpretentious way and in the end reaching insanely addictive proportions. So much so that I have the feeling I'll be coming back to this record very often in the near future until I fully realize what the fuck is going on in here. (7,5/10)
