Cast Off Crown

The first 30 seconds of 'Cast Off Crown' by Deerhoof was kicking ass in my head this morning. It is such an awesome monster groove where the drums, guitar and keyboards all pass-the-dutchie seemlessly. The song then flys in the opposite direction with a halting computer blip sequence before finally resolving the two when the dreamy vocals come in, mixing textures as the digital and analog themes intermingle. Deerhoof have reached masterpiece level quality on last years 'Friend Opportunity' and this is just one high point.

I tried to find you a version to hear online, the best I could do was this.
'Cast Off Crown' is playing in the background of this clip, you'll never want to try on anything at the Gap after hearing
this employee's gross-out story.
