Deerhoof vs. the Hives. Deerhoof absorbing the Vines. Deerhoof take the genome of garage rock and apply generous amounts of fucked-up enzymes and amino acids to arrive at something both twisted and fun, like a miniature woolly mammoth that can sing in human language. All of Deerhoof’s new album, the Magic, is like this. They are definitely the kind of band that you know what you’re getting with their music--and what you're getting is unpredictability, and they never disappoint.[BUY The Magic]
