Reveille

Editor's Info:
"One Koala bear, one gazelle, and one elk make up this band. This band makes music that is so interesting, mature, childish, boring, exciting, and beautiful that listeners often want to find them and give them presents. Songs feature drums, bass, guitar, vocals, and sometimes a keyboard. Seemingly endless two- and three-note interludes, which you might expect to be tiring, build tension and excitement before cacophonous eruptions of joyous sounds occur. When I listen to Deerhoof, I feel like a major lord. Reveille sounds like a soundtrack to a beautiful andd terrifying play where a noble troll with a robe madee out of moss storms a castle a fights a noble king king with a robe made out of purple fur in hopes of winning back his lute, the one thing that rests his troubled mind and enables him to sleep. Deerhoof songs range from small toy box tinkerings to epic rock hammers [sometimes they sound a bit like the Who]. The singer's name is Satomi and might have the most beautiful voice, which she uses while playing bass well. The guitar player makes his axe do jolly things. The drummer plays erratically and hits them so hard that when he's done they say "What'd we do to deserve that?" If you feel like hearing great music buy some Deerhoof. This band always leaves people wanting more. More art in the packaging, more songs on the CDs, more CDs, more info! They are masters of making their fans thirst for more."
