Moments

Uha, uha, det bliver vildt... Et af efter�rets vilde scoops. Legendariske Deerhoof fra det store Amerika og udgivet p� Kill Rock Stars. Eksperimenterende popsange, kamufleret nowave eller sk�ve eksistenser p� nodepapir... K�rt barn har mange navne, men det bliver ihvertfald ganske uforglemmeligt...

Deerhoof spiller experimental, prog, noise rock p� en legende og finurlig m�de og hvis vi absolut skal n�vne inspirationskilder, s� har sonic youth og yoko ono ikke levet forg�ves.... Det er i hvert fald en god grund til at komme ned p� 1000fryd en tirsdag aften og lade en omgang sk�v musik indtage �regangen... Mere info om galskaben lige om lidt, imens kan du jo nyde sommersolen i stedet for at trille rundt p� internettet hele tiden... Men hvis du insisterer kan du jo tjekke linket for lidt mp3 med mere...

"....Deerhoof's experimental, prog, noise-rock could oddly enough appeal to even the unhippest of concertgoers. They rock out like Sonic Youth while simultaneously traveling otherworldly landscapes like Yoko Ono, and sometimes slip in a fairly traditional melody to break up the din. But beneath whatever artifices they choose to wear runs a current of infectious energy that would speak to a Yes fan (an apparent direct influence on the band) as much as it would to a Motorhead fan -- it goes without saying that �bercool New Yorkers eat it up. Their previous work favored the cacophony of screeching guitars and heavy drums, and the songs from their newest album Milk Man employ those same principles but intersperse them with languorous bits of electro-pop. Art rock need not be just for art people any longer.

The brash nature of their sound might infer that the structure is haphazard, but it quickly becomes clear the opposite is true. Distortion and frenzied strumming give way at just the right moments to difficult changes, which often include forays into theatrical prog-rock keyboards. And, while sonically much different, their ambling compositions mirror the long jams also common to prog-rock, but Deerhoof is far more economical as each song usually comes in at no more than three or four minutes. The refrain, if it can be called that, of Matsuzaki chirping "Panda Panda Panda", one of her few intelligible moments, is cutely inane but in an ironic, creepy, giant panda bear coming-to-attack-you sort of way. There is definitely darkness lurking behind the sweet exterior. The title track of Milk Man centers around a child-stealing creature -- terrifyingly portrayed by Ken Kagami (whose art inspired many of the songs) on the cover of the album as a smiling, psychotic, Pac-Man ghost head sporting a bleeding strawberry atop a sexless body, a bleeding banana in his butt and another in his armpit; Matsuzaki's eerie, childlike singing completes the baleful tone.
