Fisk left Deerhoof after 1999's Holdy Paws, an experiment that saw the band trying to write songs that favored composition over individual sounds, and pursued similar ideas in his solo work and in Badgerlore. Halfbird, which was recorded before Fisk departed, was released in 2001, after John Dieterich was recruited as Deerhoof's new guitarist. That year the group also released the My Pal Foot Foot 7", a cover of the legendary Shaggs song that also appeared on the Better Than the Beatles tribute....

Since Green Cosmos is so short, its eclectic sound doesn't stick around long enough to feel scattered. Instead, it just reaffirms Deerhoof's unspoken manifesto -- that music should be fun -- and offers a nice, bite-size portion of their crazy sweetness.

Celebrate Brooklyn & Wordless Music present DEERHOOF / METROPOLIS ENSEMBLE: THE RITE: REMIXED The mercurial experimentalists DEERHOOF, “the most creative band in indie rock today,” (LA Weekly) forge a distinctive sound out of sophisticated improvisation, fierce dissonance, and weirdly catchy melodies. They’re paired here, via the forward thinking Wordless Music Series, with a world premiere by METROPOLIS ENSEMBLE, led by Artistic Director/Conductor Andrew Cyr. The Rite: Remixed is a collaboration...

Deerhoof continues its recent trend of writing catchier songs than when they started out, but they’re still plenty weird; in a way, expanding their options to include almost-normal songs makes them even more unpredictable than ever. The combination of avant-gardish anything-goes with recognizable melodies and riffs makes for both great fun and great art. Prog-rock, marching band trumpet and drums, abrupt edits, surreal lyrics, and Satomi Matsuzaki’s girlish voice all contribute to the masterfully...

NEW KILL ROCK STARS. Say what you will about Deerhoof, but they know how to write a beautiful song. And "Offend Maggie" is all the more beautiful for the fact that it seems to come out of nowhere. For all its sparkling musicanship, it sounds casually tossed off like it was nothing at all. It's a new sound for the band as much as it's a new sound for pop music.While John Dieterich's acoustic guitar seems to channel Malian guitarist Ali Farka Toure, Ed Rodriguez's electric conjures classic Townsend...

Deerhoof rock with the fury of 1000 suns, cacophonous and dangerous, but they're also the masters of "quiet-loud," the idea that moments, though soft in decibels, can be incredibly and sonically deafening, that pure beauty has a loudness all its own. Greg's drumming is nothing short of spectacular and inspired, the guitar chunks, the bass roars, Satomi's vocals make you tingle. They've got the chemistry scientists long for, and although they accept fan mail on this planet, Deerhoof are from another...

DEERHOOF - OFFEND MAGGIE (LP)
Ultimately Deerhoof is not about notes and rhythms, but about emotion. And while Offend Maggie sparkles with that inimitable something-or-other for which the band's become known, what this record wears on its sleeve so boldly and poignantly, is its stark humanness: of the characters in the lyrics, of the singer in front of the mic, of the band bashing it out in a room together. Deerhoof has that Brian Wilson gift for communicating, even with the barest of rock and roll provisions, every shading of...

San Francisco's strident Deerhoof is a much-loved deconstructionist art-pop outfit. The band is part no wave skronk, part Yoko Ono meets the B-52's, and part weirdo J-pop, and continues to push the musical envelope on each new recording. Reveille is a pretty good example of what Deerhoof is capable of. Quite a few of its songs are instrumental, for the most part, helter-skelterish flare-ups with primitive Casio-like bloops and bleeps, angular fizz-pop guitars, and epileptic drum freakouts. Those...

San Francisco's favorite noise-pop sons (and daughter, vocalist Satomi Matsuzaki) are nothing if not prolific, with OFFEND MAGGIE representing their 10th full-length in 11 years. But this time around they sound a bit more menacing, thanks to the addition of guitarist Ed Rodriguez. "Buck And Judy" is the hallmark of this heaviness: it retains the ominous slither of slow-core but carries its verses with an almost Primus-like fuzz-stomp. The next track, "Snoopy Waves," returns almost immediately to...

"One Koala bear, one gazelle, and one elk make up this band. This band makes music that is so interesting, mature, childish, boring, exciting, and beautiful that listeners often want to find them and give them presents. Songs feature drums, bass, guitar, vocals, and sometimes a keyboard. Seemingly endless two- and three-note interludes, which you might expect to be tiring, build tension and excitement before cacophonous eruptions of joyous sounds occur. When I listen to Deerhoof, I feel like a major...

The music of San Francisco rock band Deerhoof has been compared to everything from a spirited, joyful, goofy indie cartoon rock-opera to a kaleidoscopic mutant of freaky, cultish prog-rock. Over seven full-length albums in about as many years, the band has risen from no-wave obscurity to global indie-rock notoriety. While last year's Milk Man injected their frenetic sound with a new subtlety and relatively subdued texture, live, Deerhoof shows continue to be a battle between high art chaos and pure...
