Deerhoof–The Magic
Genre: Noise Rock, Pop
FFO: Liars, Deerhunter, Animal Collective
San Francisco’s Noise pop quartet Deerhoof manages to still maintain strong flavor despite being chewed by increasing audiences worldwide for two decades. Album number sixteen still maintains frontwoman Satomi Matsuzaki’s signature, jovial vocal performance hovering over mathy, avante garde instrumentation blending pop and noise rock. The Magic lies in the group’s newfound genre playground toying with Punk, Metal, Hip Hop, Dream Pop, and R&B this time around. If you long to pursue music that pushes boundries, I’d say The Magic is as good of a starting point as any.
Less Win–Trust
Genre: Post Punk, Noise Rock
FFO: Iceage, LOWER, Eagulls, King Krule
Danish Post Punk trio Less Win shatters genre’s clichès with a captivating, dense, debut LP experimenting with various unique instrumentation whilst maintaining a rock solid edge guaranteed to win over fans of the current Post Punk revival movement.
Puro Instinct–Autodrama
Genre: Synthpop, Dream Pop
FFO: Tamyrn, Purity Ring, Cocteau Twins
The sophomore LP from Los Angeles pop duo Puro Instinct is a fun, sugary-sweet, dance album blending ’80’s era dreamy nostalgia with more modern sensibilities as well.
