Those were certainly very comic acts when the two founders looked for mates, because the condition was: can play any kind of instrument is absolutely needless. – Do you feel like joining us? – But I can’t play any instruments. – Oh it’s great! We need such an incompetent man exactly like you to make good noisy punk rock music:

PINK SECTION was a short-lived synth-punk band with Dadaist aesthetic by 4 students of San Francisco Art Institute in 1979/80. This first-time retrospective LP collects the band’s rare 1979 single, the self-titled EP, unreleased demos, and live materials

Carol and Judy went on to form the Inflatable Boy Clams after Pink Section split. The bass and sax player Matt makes mechanical music and sound installations nowadays.

There’s an American experimental-rock duo Ahleuchastistas, which named himself from a Charlie Parker song, and a Swiss musician Antoine Lang, who works with human voice and electronic devices. They together are the Blind Thorns. Heavy listening

There is in the press kit that musically S’s is highly influenced by Pixies, Cabaret Voltaire, The Normal, Kraftwerk, and takes inspiration from bleak sci-fi films such as Eraserhead (David Lynch, 1977), THX 1138 (George Lucas, 1971), Brazil (Terry Gilliam, 1985), Blade Runner (Ridely Scott, 1982). But forget the Pixies! It’s mistake, this is pretty hard electro-noise, maybe he has intended to write Pigface. Xiu Xiu is also comparable to him. The most relevant parallel act is Foetus (most important alter-ego of J. G. Thirlwell, aka Clint Ruin).

Exploded View of Love is a concept album, about indifference of selfie, corporate and online social lifeforms, a dystopia about the world of Homo Leviculus.

„All sorts of stupid phrases have been said for their music, e.g.: experimental, avantgarde, noise, art rock, but Deerhoof is just one of the best pop bands in the world.”  – RNR666

Deerhoof is a base, a point of comparison. I have gathered some „Deerhoof-like”, „Deerhoofesque” or „Deerhoof positive” artists from RNR666

Gentle Friendly – „It’s noisy, with keyboards, you wouldn’t like it.” Very playful experimental pop. Maybe like the early Animal Collective. Or Deerhoof.

Roze & The Rice Cakes – Funny, playful, jazzy. It brings the Deerhoof to my mind. On other sites this is called art rock.

Blanche Blanche Blanche – Experimental pop like Zappa or Deerhoof or something similar.

Joy As A Toy – They mention Talking Heads, Stereolab, Mr. Bungle and Deerhoof like same style music. Playful eclectic progressive pop.

Binidu – They’re high above the indie rock category. His music comes to my mind the Deerhoof and the French band is comparable to them. Fresh and playful music.

Papeye – Indie hard rock from France. The sound is similar to Deerhoof (I love) and Don Caballero (I don’t like).

Orval Carlos Sibelius – French multi-instrumentalist, who make music in really various styles from abstract electroinc dance to psych folk pop. His music often comes the world of Deerhoof in my mind.

Their 13th album La Isla Bonita will be released on 4 November by Polyvinyl Records (US). It was recorded live, DIY style, during „a weeklong sleepover arguing over whether to try and sound like Joan Jett or Janet Jackson

Deerhoof formed as a drum’n’bass duo in San Francisco in 1994. In 1995 Satomi Matsuzaki joined them as a singer within a week of arriving in the United States from Japan without any band experience, and went on tour only a week later… Later she would be the bass player too.  And a guitar player is there too, not of course.
