Deerhoof
the magic
upset the rhythm
hyperactive, energetic pop that manages to blend glam rock, punk and polyrhythms seamlessly, making a weird and wonderful hybrid art rock opus.
there’s no let up here – they chop and change and fuse genres at will, making a glorious cacophony that’s instantly enjoyable. there’s bits of ork records madness in there, moments of dirty projectors-y intricate drum led art pop and heaps of beck like leftfield genius. deerhoof bridge the gap between the complex & technical and pure imagination to make an album that expertly makes you feel like you’re dreaming. “‘The Magic’ proves surreal until the very end, just as promised.” – 8/10 the line of best fit
