Musings On Deerhoof

I feel behind the times. I've only recently discovered such bands as Animal Collective, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and Deerhoof. I find it odd to discover that I was so unaware of this good music for so long. I've been listening to alot of Deerhoof lately, The Runners Four is a great album.
Deerhoof really puts the "rawk", so to speak, in indie rock. Siriustar is a very heavy song with these wide open spaces. Wrong Time Capsule has a catchy riff that holds on to you after you've listened. It seems to take 70's rock and twist it with Deerhoof's style. The high vocals seem to contrast the crashing guitars quite expertly. Anyways, really, I recommend The Runners Four to anyone who is looking for some heavier indie rock.
