The progressive indie rock band Deerhoof has released its new album, Friend Opportunity, on Kill Rock Star/DRA Records, to high critical acclaim.
Fans of the group will likely not be let down. The band shines on this album in a way they have not before.
But don’t worry – they have preserved their mysterious complexity of song writing and musical mood changes while at the same time cranking it up a notch on experimental rock pop songs like “Matchbook Seeks Maniac”, ” +81” and “Cast Off Clown.”
Much of the album is representative of their musical styles, and experimentation with different textures and some engineering tricks and switches that give the songs a polished quality while not sounding overly produced or mainstream Top 40. 
First time listeners of Deerhoof are encouraged to listen to the bands other albums like Apples O’ or The Runners Four first for a better context for which to listen to Friend Opportunity.
The songs featured here are for listening only. You can buy Deerhoof’s music from any number of downloading sites or buy their CDs online or in the stores.
If you are already a new fan, or a long-time fan, make sure not to miss the band if they are playing near you.

Deerhoof Official website There are some videos, news and tour information, but not much more than that. A little surprising for a great band that has been around for a while.
