Northern Transmissions
Their penchant for pop is in tact on this record, with Satomi’s genius melody lines, but it is Rodriguez and Dietrich’s shredding guitars that takes the spotlight on this record

This is, of course, very much an acquired taste and Actually You Can probably isn’t the best album to introduce the uninitiated to the delights of Deerhoof.
