Deerhoof - Deerhoof vs. Evil (2011)

After a two and a half year break since their last work "Offend Maggie," Deerhoof returns with what is one of their most provocative records to date. Originating in San Francisco, Deerhoof has lasted through nearly two generations of music, thus creating an enormous collection of avant garde sound experiments, infectious and unpredictable pop melodies, and quirky, noise-infested indie tunes. The distinctive combination of Satomi Matsuzaki's light, ambitious, childlike voice and Greg Saunier's impromptu new wave songwriting has created a unique set of sounds, making the group one of a kind.

Pyramids With Nadja (2009)

Pyramids with Nadja, a massive collaborative effort led by (you guessed it) Pyramids and Nadja, features a very sophisticated collection of otherwise established musicians from Cocteau Twins, Der Blutharsch and Mineral.

Energized ambient, infused with an intelligent for avant-garde metal and an almost indiscernible adherence to a sort of pop sensability, Pyramids with Nadja successfully meld the unparalleled compositional methodology developed in Pyramids s/t album with Nadjas trademarked dirge-like shoegaze.

Mixed and mastered by James Plotkin (Jodis, Khanate, Khlyst).
