Deerhoof || Listen || Watch || MP3

Fourteen years into a band as diverse and uncompromising as Deerhoof, with albums that skittered from twee electronics and J-pop to sizzling explosions of art-noise, you might expect that the quartet would have comprehensively explored every possible avenue of artistic innovation. Offend Maggie evidences a band that hasn’t settled down, because they don’t have to. Featuring new second guitarist Ed Rodriguez, it’s ironically a stripped-down effort (drummer Greg Saunier plays live with just a kick drum, snare and crash cymbal). Offend Maggie adds jazz-inspired, unpredictable structures to Deerhoof’s raw, off-the-cuff approach. It may be stripped down, but the result is daring, otherworldly and an exhaustive clinic on creating transcendent moments with a pair of guitars. – CMJ
