“One of the Most Original Rock Bands to Have Come Along in the Last Decade” the NEW YORK TIMES “The Best Band in the World “one of the most original rock bands to have come along in the last decade” THE NEW YORK TIMES “the best band in the world” PITCHFORK “World's Best Live Band” TIME OUT NEW YORK “magical...absurdly catchy...a pure expression of musical joy” ROLLING STONE (on Friend Opportunity) “Deerhoof are the most creative band in indie rock today” LA WEEKLY “has the undeniable power of complete originality” TIME (on The Runners Four) “Deerhoof takes risks as naturally as the rest of us breathe.” INTERVIEW (on Friend Opportunity) “Deerhoof makes the difficult wonderful” THE NEW YORKER “Any band can be prolific, but only a truly great one can inspire you to keep caring.” TIME OUT NEW YORK “a perfect album” SPIN (on Milk Man) “Accuse Deerhoof of whatever you want -- just don't say they do the same thing twice” SPIN (on Offend Maggie) “unfathomable brilliance from start to finish” NME “spectacular...startlingly original” Q “Sonic Youth for the "Guitar Hero" generation” VARIETY “downright epic...Deerhoof has forged yet another delightfully odd pop gem, multifaceted and sparkling with creativity” PASTE “I wouldn't hesitate to call Deerhoof the best live act on tour right now, a frenetic powerhouse that peaks on the edge of collapse. Their furious energy is seldom equaled, hyperkinetic noise blasts coupled with snippets of sing-song-y tunefulness. “Get your hooves out of control”, mutters Matsuzaki on “Jagged Fruit”, and it's the best summary you'll find. Whether intentional or not, this is the best album representation of Deerhoof's live restlessness and sonic punch since Apple O', absolutely brimming with those off-kilter melodic ideas that should not work but do...” PITCHFORK MEDIA (on Offend Maggie) .

  • Album of the Week: Deerhoof's La Isla Bonita
    Album Of The Week: Deerhoof’s La Isla Bonita Believe it or not, there are a few bands that have been around for a while that I have yet to take a dive into. One of those bands are San Francisco noise pop punk act Deerhoof, and their new album La Isla Bonita has shown me exactly what I’ve been missing. One of those bands that have managed to stick around since the mid-90s, the variety of sounds and dimensions in each track off of the album is jaw dropping. One moment it sounds like a psychedelic j- pop song and then unpredictably these crunchy rigid guitars come in and obliterate everything. So many influences and styles being showcased in one sound, Deerhoof’s new release is simply amazing with its stunning originality. The album was produced by former music journalist & ex-Mr. Dream drummer Nick Sylvester. For a band that has gained acclaim for being extremely DIY for self-producing their previous albums and self- managing, at first glance it could sound like a risk to make a departure from the norm with a different producer. Sylvester excels with excellent quality, and I also can’t get enough of Greg Saunier’s skills on drums. For all of this polish you might be thinking of, don’t fret. There are a good amount of ear- splitting riff rockers on La Isla Bonita as well. It’s November, which means it’s getting cold and one of your friends is already complaining about it. One thing you shouldn’t complain about are the top tracks off of my Album Of The Week.

  • Scheduled from June 26 to July 31, 2O11, This Special Tour Includes Selected Dates at Major Festivals & Venues Around Europ
    An exceptional tour by a collaborative ensemble featuring KONONO N°1, DEERHOOF, JUANA MOLINA, KASAI ALLSTARS, WILDBIRDS & PEACEDRUMS and SKELETONS The music created by Congolese bands Konono N°1 and Kasai Allstars (collectively known as ‘Congotronics’) has been enthusiastically acclaimed by everyone in the indie rock scene, from artists to fans to media. Released at the end of 2010, the epic double-album entitled Tradi-Mods vs Rockers: Alternative Takes on Congotronics was a collective tribute by 26 rock and electronic artists, who came up with their own, creative interpretations of the Congotronics bands’ music. The logical next step in this transcontinental encounter: this spring & summer, a special collaborative ensemble consisting of ten Congolese and ten indie rock musicians will get together to create a common, entirely fresh repertoire, building bridges between their respective worlds, for what promises to be one of the most spectacular musical events of 2o11. Appearing under the name CONGOTRONICS vs ROCKERS, the ensemble will include Konono N°1, Kasai Allstars, mighty US band Deerhoof, unique Argentinian artist Juana Molina, explosive Swedish experimental pop duo Wildbirds & Peacedrums, & inventive Brooklyn band Skeletons (represented by their leader Matt Mehlan), 2o musicians in total, all performing together. Scheduled from June 26 to July 31, 2o11, this special tour includes selected dates at major festivals & venues around Europe & Japan. Crammed Discs, the instigator of CONGOTRONICS VS ROCKERS, will be 30 in 2011. The label will celebrate its anniversary in style with this project, which is aptly emblematic of Crammed’s adventures during these three decades. MINI-BIOGRAPHIES The music of Konono N°1 has elicited spectacular reactions ever since the release of the inaugural "Congotronics" album in 2004.
