Deerhoof
No way this San Francisco trio is the best band in the world, but you can understand why some people think so.
There's something perfect and unique about their angular guitar songs, and how many bands can claim perfect and unique anything? At this point Satomi's chirpy vocals no longer count as either a distraction or an annoyance, and she practically fades into the background on their new album, "Friend Opportunity," which is so finely chiseled and impeccably arranged that you can't believe they managed to produce all those songs without killing one another. Having thankfully abandoned their penchant to shock, Deerhoof completely succeeds in enchanting.
