Deerhoof's fantastic new album Deerhoof vs. Evil is out this week in the UK on ATP Recordings! We think it's their best LP in quite some time and here's just a small sample of the reviews that agree with us....
4/5, "The perfect prog-pop hit...This is 'difficult' music at it's most endearingly playful, and an absolute joy." - Mojo
4/5, "It's hard to imagine a sound less statesmanlike than the joyous racket of their 11th LP...they continue to defy pop orthodoxy." - Q
4/5, "Deerhoof songs unleash coiled energies in high pressure bursts...Deerhoof are coming close to knocking The Flaming Lips off their exalted perch." - Uncut
4/5, "Ten studio albums and 16 years into a singular career, the experimental US art-rockers are still an enigma" - The Times
5/5, Album Of The Month, "Needless to say, the swines are still better than your band." - Artrocker
4/5, "Musical schizophrenia at it's sweetest...we want a bit of whatever Deerhoof are on." - The Fly
8/10, "Deerhoof’s prodigiously consistent output should not overshadow how precious they are." - Drowned In Sound
"The four-piece continue to push the boundaries of pop music...wonderfully challenging." - Clash
9/10, "Weird and regularly wonderful, in the same way Animal Collective set an intolerably early LP marker back in January 2009, Deerhoof have set a standard few can match." - Loud And Quiet
8.5/10, "Astonishingly original and new...Deerhoof, we salute you." - The Four Oh Five
4/5, "Could be their most polished work: there are seismic riffs, Greek soundtrack covers, countless counter-rhythms and sharp-edged melodies." - Record Collector
8/10, "It's almost depressingly rare for a band to be creating it's most vital and exciting music this late into it's career and Deerhoof should be applauded for refusing to fade." - Subbacultcha
4.5/5, "A glorious return from a band that somehow keeps getting better." - Narc
