On their second full-length, San Francisco band
Deerhoof
continues its reckless recombination of noise, abstraction, and the occasional turn to structure -- while the album's free-form noisefests come somewhere between
the Boredoms
and
Caroliner
.
frequently brings this experimentation full circle into fuzzy, out-of-control
pop
territory (
"A-Town Test Site,"
"Polly Bee"
). The alternation between abstraction and structure (with both underpinned by raw live drumming and female vocals) seems to work better than either would by itself, appealing to both ends of the noisy, unstructured
spectrum.
The Man, The King, The Girl
also includes five tracks from one of the bands' live performances. ~ Nitsuh Abebe
