Deerhoof: Deerhoof vs Evil (Polyvinyl) - Sixteen years in, San Francisco's Deerhoof continues to fight the Evils of mainstream music. Their Polyvinyl debut was self-recorded, mixed and mastered. This chapter blasts earthy Congotronics into asymmetric orbits of otherworldly psych-pop. Undulating rhythmic blasts, layered percussive clamor, drifting keys, encoded bass and varied guitar accents propel the journey. Satomi Matsuzaki's confident, dynamic delivery focus the energy, for atomic bombs are going to explode, warning to you, warning to you. [Note: WDCE presented Deerhoof, Des ark, VCR, and the Billy Nayer Show at UR's Greek Amphitheater – on Sat. 9/17/2005] Nearly Highly Recommended. Play 1 2 3 4 6 11
Experimental Dental School: Jane Doe Loves Me (Cochon) - Hailing from Oakland, California, schizophrenic art rock outfit Experimental Dental School present their 3rd LP Jane Doe Loves Me. Fractured rhythms and beats are layered and subverted by Casio riffs, prog-rock guitar, horns, samples and unique instruments. The unpredictable music journey is more avant than experimental, as there are underlying structures supporting its disjointed façade of sonic mayhem. RIYL: Deerhoof, Captain Beefheart, Melt Banana. Highly Recommended.
