[[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](https://indierockcafe.com/wp-content/uploads/plus%2081%20deerhoof.mp3)”
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.

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.
