Deerhoof “Green Cosmos” [Menlo Park Recordings]

Deerhoof has cleared the stratosphere on its maiden voyage into the emerald green beyond! Uncovering their latest 7 song EP, Green Cosmos, was like stumbling across an immaculate oasis in the scorching desert sands. What a splendid instance of ingenious noise pop experimentalism. Seductive sonic waves radiate with prevailing kinetic energy, absorbing feel-good vibrations and then bursting forth spastic peculiarities. Satomi Matsuzaki’s playful Japanese lyricism sounds exquisitely gorgeous as she croons over the pleasantly rhythmic title song, ‘Green Cosmos.’ ‘Malalauma? gently sways to and fro like palm trees caught in a coastal breeze before suddenly becoming engulfed in a heavy tropical rainstorm. Breathtakingly mellow yet able to briefly transition into edgy and unsettling territory. ‘Spiral Golden Town’s? chiming fanfare no-wave synths and dance-pop bass lines sets a mood similar to the closing credits featured in some critically acclaimed foreign film. It just has that stunning cinematic feel with exceedingly catchy appeal! It’s highly addictive to say the least. 3WR: Galactic Lime Ecstasy!
