Actually, You Can is Deerhoof at their most simplified

8.3 / 10

On the experimental group's 18th album, they reconnect with their ferocious live energy to deliver their leanest and most…

‘Conventional’, if only by their wildly ambitious standards.

For Deerhoof, the tumultuous late 2010s and early 2020s were a call to arms and a time of rejuvenation.

8.0 / 10

Few bands traversing the indie rock circuit are as prolific as Deerhoof: 18 albums over a quarter of a century—including three in the last two years. And no band matches their ability to draw from so many contrasting styles and influences while still creating something that sounds cohesive. On Actually, You Can, they alternate between chaotic math rock and hypnotic alternative, weaving an album that feels equal parts eclectic and spontaneous.

7 / 10

The new album from Deerhoof is a beguiling collision of high and low culture, creating what they aptly call Rococo Garage
