Deerhoof
California
THE NEW YORK TIMES
Miraculous...A defining statement...Deerhoof is one of the most original rock bands to have come along in the last decade. With the band at this level of songwriting achievement, it might not be surprising if Deerhoof, like Radiohead, came to be taken seriously for its composing.
PITCHFORK "Top 50 Albums of 2005"
#6. Deerhoof, The Runners Four (Kill Rock Stars)
It's not in Deerhoof's DNA to be a pop band; Luckily, nobody bothered to tell them about this limitation, and as a result The Runners Four gives us 20 different misses at conventional songwriting, silly attempts at traditionalism that go fascinatingly awry in every way possible. It's one of the year's most playfully dense, eminently relistenable calamities.
