FO is about wanting to be loved, doubting yourself, trying to fit in, sometimes succeeding, failing the rest.

On this record Deerhoof take everything that clique of indie bands has worked toward-- add the suddenly popular twee vocals-- and ride it like an h-bomb.

Friend Opportunity’s got some pretty intricate proggy pop-rock tunes to sink your teeth into. Is it as good as 2005’s foaming behemoth The Runner’s Four? Maybe not.

Most of Friend Opportunity, which the San Francisco three-piece wrote while on the road with Radiohead, sounds like a pure expression of musical joy. Over kitchen-sink instrumentation -- fuzzed-out guitars, organ, spooky synths -- Japanese vocalist Satomi Matsuzaki sings lovely, impressionistic lyrics in a childlike voice.

In general, it's a really good album. It just might not be a good Deerhoof album.

Friend Opportunity, the group's latest release, doesn't push them wholly over the edge into the aforementioned abyss of the average, but it finds the Deerhoof sound more streamlined than ever.
