Deerhoof


Deerhoof is an experimental rock band from the Bay Area. Their music ranges from dissonant noise, to soft indie rock, to really strict composition. Most of their albums and songs fall somewhere between these extremes. Some common characteristics of their songs are loose tempos, odd juxtapositions of catchy melody and noise or dissonance, improvisation, weird meters, and singer Satomi Matsuzaki's distinctinctive vocals.

Recommended Albums:
