Pitchfork in WTF shocka:

Deerhoof release their first straight-up guitar-rock album-- short, dense songs packed into familiar forms, full-bodied vocals for unabashed, often gut-punching melodies, less herk-jerk, less of that house-of-cards spirit that coursed through Reveille and Apple O. Almost twice the length of their other LPs, The Runners Four plays not as one big song, but as three swoops of six or seven, and the result is by turns jubilant, confused, afraid, angry, sad, relieved, and all pretty poignant

Wha? How is this album any more guitar-rock or less "herk-jerk" than Reveille? Nick, care to explain?

I would like Greg Saunier and Brian Chippendale to release a Max Roach-Buddy Rich-style "dueling drums" record.
