Is anyone playful like Deerhoof is playful? Captain Beefheart said that "an electric guitar attracts Beelzebub,"and the art rock band's chords produced puppy-toothed demons with dimples and smiles. These creatures gave you new and fresh perspectiveson how pop could tear the flesh.
For the uninitiated, "Exit Only" will come off asanimmediate punksong, as crushing as a palace built entirely of amplifiers. It fits within thehardcore revival that's producedMETZ and Greys,a shot in the arm given byDeerhoof's specific personality. Present are the staples, like peppy guitar linesand equally meandering lyrics, from a resolute and incomplete "I don't let you," to a more sunnily resigned "Too many choices to order breakfast." The frayed sound means it's more accessible, but it never feels like you could be listening to anyone else.
