I’m looking at the Deerhoof discography, and I can’t believe that “Friend Opportunity” is their 9th album…this not only means that this San Francisco band has been producing quirky pop music for 10 years, but it also means that I’m getting really old (which I suppose is a subject best left for another time). The fantastic thing about the ‘Hoof is they feel just as strange and fresh on their 9th album as they did on their first – you never know what you are going to get, not just album to album, but song to song. The record has about anything you can think of, from straight-forward pop songs to Bjork-like musical numbers to repetitive kraut-rockish moments to songs that I have no idea how to describe, like the track “Kidz Are So Small” which is sung from the perspective of a dog talking to its owner. Truly, there is no one quite like Deerhoof, and they just seem to keep getting better and better with each passing album.
