Friend Opportunity

Friend Opportunity is a feat of reinvention that could only come from artists willing to rethink everything. Even though Deerhoof have been around a long time, they're still restless, still hungry for the rush of the new. Not coincidentally, and fortunately for Deerhoof, they've attracted a burgeoning following who absolutely love to be challenged - from album to album, from song to song, from moment to moment. Friend Opportunity will not disappoint them. or anyone else. songs like 'The Perfect Me' have three or four sections of heart-stopping epiphanies of the sublime; 'Matchbook Seeks Maniac' pulls a 99 luftballoons breakdown move in the middle, rocks a brahms interval in the pop-narcotic chorus, and the Beach Boys and the who are all over the mix. 'Believe e.s.p.' opens with Deerhoof's take on get-down funky slinkopation but the next passage sounds like something out of palestrina, and so many of these songs are like a scenic drive that flows seamlessly from one astonishing vista to the next, from wide, shimmering deserts to foggy canyons to staggering, snow-peaked mountaintops.
