Music reviews of Apple O
Music Review: Deerhoof=MUSIC
Rating: 5 Stars
Deerhoof DOES NOT equal trying to create an image of themselves. Deerhoof DOES NOT equal trying to make the charts. Deerhoof DOES NOT equal trying to fit into a tradition. They make the tradition as they go, only to break it first thing.
If you're not familiar with this band, buy this album along with their other two classics: _Milkman_ and _The Runners Four_. You'll be able to say that you were in on the phenomenon before they got an indie halo like other pioneers (e.g. Fugazi, Sonic Youth, Television, et al). They are able to make this unforgettable sonic stew simply because they are principally about one thing: MUSIC.
There's something for everyone here. Like experimental music?: Deerhoof's ethos is never anything less than experimentation. Like jazz?: You get to hear the band woodshed with the best of them on instrumentals "My Diamond Star Car" (Drummer Greg Saunier is a special treat here; sometimes he almost sounds like a free jazz titan on his tiny trap set. Others he just bludgeons away with the band on their less intricate moments. Extremely versatile. Meaning he is willing to let go and be endearingly sloppy even though he is an excellent musician.) Like ballads?: Deerhoof even has these (tho' with a caveat on this album--go to _Runners Four_ if you really want to hear the "softer side" of Deerhoof). "Apple Bomb" starts out with singer Satomi in a vulnerable surrealistic mode: "I said god/ In the tress it's lovely/ But it's lonely/ With a bone." Guitarists Chris Cohen and John Dieterich (the most effective young guitar duo in rock) play with the delicacy of the Pizzarelli family, only to explode in shards of distortion on the "bomb" part of "Apple Bomb," the chorus.
Then they are on to more jazz maneuverings in "The Forbidden Fruits," which consists of the lyrics "Leopard fur no store" and some of Satomi's ethereal "doo-d-doo-doo-d-d-doo-doot"'s. They start out sounding like the funky side of Wes Montgomery and then layer some John Cage-like dissonance on top of the diminished chord vamp. Indispensable listening.
Every song on here is a highlight. I haven't even gotten to the pop moments (try "L'Amour Stories"), the new music moments ("Adam + Eve Connection"--it's all here, starts out with Stockhausen-esque electronic manipulation of the earlier "Sealed with a Kiss" and then goes on to some Villa-Lobos-esque classical guitar), or the blues moments ("Blue Cash" is perhaps the most interesting version of a blues progression I have ever heard). What makes all of this experimentation stick is the fact that it is not simply experimentation for the sake of experimentation. It is for the sake of music, so they always make a connection, at least if you are patient with them.
I should know. I got _The Runners Four_, their latest album, almost a year ago. At first, I liked what I heard, but wasn't necessarily blown away. Well, I saw them live, and that upped the ante for me: they are one of the best live experiences today along with fellow NYers the YYY's. They stuck their "holdy paws" into my brain with their intoxicating and fearful mix of intricacy, subtlety, brutality, flippancy, and seriousness. Then I had to get everything. The more I listen to them, the more they are a part of my life, and the more I realize that they are an integral part of the history of all that is the greatest in the history of not only rock'n'roll, but music itself. Get in on this before everyone else and your sister knows that they are the best-kept secret in music (really--they are as good as the best in jazz and modern classical, too; I think it was Ben Ratliff of the Times who said that they are probably the next band who will be having jazz and classical cover albums done of their songs in the not-too-distant future, like Radiohead or Mars Volta). Get in on the Deerhoof phenomenon by buying this album this minute.
