Deerhoof - The Galaxist

Deerhoof has been making music for just about more than ten years, probably closer to 15. Their sounds embellishes on mathematically-insane time signatures, spastic noisy breakdowns and a little Asian female singer. Honestly, without the vocal help of Satomi Matsuzaki, Deerhoof would just be math/noise rock fodder. But she gives it a sense of innocence associated usually with children on the playground, if those children were tearing the playground apart with cute smiles. The Galaxist off of their album Friend Oppurtunity combines all of their sound but with more to flaunt. Starting with a brilliant arpeggio, drone-metal breakdown and then a space-rock bridge-- this is by far one of their best songs.
