This does it all for me. Innovative, invigourated, absolutely lovely. If Deerhoof were a person they would be an excellently loveable loony.
Deerhoof are nearly perfect.

I just played Milk Man in the ears while I rode a bike around my neighborhood. I can't remember the last time I'd done that. Today's Sunday; I'd bought the album just the last Friday. I was bored and stuck in my house with no idea of what to do with the time. With it still being sunny outside, I grabbed my red hooded zip-up and my seven-year old brother's zorro hat and jumped on the old one-speed bike i hadn't picked up in years. As I got on the bike, i pressed play. Listening to it made me want to make video to the title track with the video camera I haven't used nearly enough. Also while listening to it, I wanted to write a short manual on "how to get to know yourself better" or " how to gain some confidence", with the entire album being the 'soundtrack'. People that I wanted to talk to but hadn't in a long time seemed to now be very easy to talk to. Thinking of video footage to put to music wasn't as hard as it had been. The world was fun, and I was the king of it. I had chosed the roads with people out in their front yards to ride by so as to see the odd looks they'd give me. 'Giga Dance' was interrupted by an old friend's dad who was out in his front yard. He had talked about his musical ambitions (he being a 40 year-old guitarist who has a serious passion for AC/DC). We ended our conversation with him saying that I should come down and play music with him sometime. I had responded with 'I love to play music'. I went down the steep hill with the organ-ic main line of the song going. I rode through all of the neighborhood and still had the last half of the cd to get through. I got to my driveway and drove to the small field behind the shed. I passed the time by half riding, half kicking a soccer ball around in the field until my legs gave out and i fell in the patches of grass, with the moon being directly above me and 'Dream Wanderer's Tune' halfway thru. I thought about how perfect it would be to get with some friends that I haven't seen in a long time and make a film to the album.
In all, Milk Man had made me think, and I really wanted to put some action to what I had thought about.
I got home and called two people. They didn't answer, so I left messages.

Oddly fetching

You know, I really liked this album. It's strange and jittery, and sort of feels like how I feel after I've drank a triple iced latte. It's not for everyone, and certainly not something I would recommend to people that like more mainstream music. But upon my 3rd listen, I started to feel the connection between the tracks and the overall theme of the album. And I actually think that if you're looking for something really out of the ordinary, you're sick of mainstream rock and you're ready to experiment with something way outside the perameters of "normal", this album is awesome!
A few months ago I saw Deerhoof perform at a music festival up here in Portland. They were so kooky. The drummer sat on a milk crate and beat on his drums like crazy. The female singer rocked out on the guitar and the band as a whole jelled successfully on stage.
I'm going to seek out more of Deerhoof's stuff. Aside from seeing them live, this is the only album by them I've heard. I'm excited to listen to Apple O now. I can see where long-time fans follow them faithfully. There's something so addictive about their sound!
Don't be afraid to try something new!

San Francisco's Deerhoof have been around for ten years and in the meantime have released five albums. One website describes their music as cuddly and chaotic, a very apt description indeed.
Deerhoof really hit public consciousness with their fourth album `Apple O' (2003) and the infectious `Panda Panda Panda'.
Safe to say that Milk Man is a natural progression on that previous effort. `Milk Man' is more focused, with the loud bits in all the right places this time. In fact the album even has a theme - a mysterious hooded milkman who lures children. One has to admit that the idea of a theme has never really been part of Deerhoof's repetoire!
There are many treats hidden in this album - the bleepy `Dog on the Sidewalk'; the both creepy and beautiful `Giga Dance'; but undoubtedly the best track here is `Milking', with its big drums, cascades of guitar-shred noise and the nursery rhyming lyrics. Probably the best thing the band has done to date (yes it even surpasses `Panda Panda Panda')
So far so good - but I do have a feeling that album number six will be the one to break through and make them alternative household names. And if they don't? Who cares, you still have Milk Man!
