Pandora on Deerhoof

Deerhoof's musical style according to Pandora: "Electric rock instrumentation, punk influences, intricate melodic phrasing, major key tonality, breathy female lead vocalist." Major key tonality is arguable. "Breathy" is not how I'd place Satomi's vocal style. Missing hip hop. FAILURE!

Twin Killers, Deerhoof. I like it already. Skip.

Cooper, Deerhoof. I like it already. Skip.

  * Cooper is a weird song. Pandora explains it as "hard rock roots, punk influences, repetitive melodic phrasing, extensive vamping and chromatic harmonic structure." Hard rock is questionable, and none of these reason are why I like it, but PARTIAL VICTORY!

Machine, Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I've heard it already! Skip.

The Thousandth Face, The Curtains. Haven't heard it before. I like it!

Anxiety, Nagisa Ni Te. Haven't heard it before. I like it!

  * First song that with a similar vocalist!

Dripping Dream, Sonic Youth. I don't like it already. Skip.

  * Why picked? "Electronic rock instrumentation, subtle vocal harmony, mild rhythmic syncopation, repetitive melodic phrasing, chromatic harmonic structure." Mild rhythmic syncopation? What does that mean?

Statements, Guther. Haven't heard it before. I don't like it. Skip.

By Tomorrow, Black Tamborine. Haven't heard it before. I don't like it.
