I go back and forth on Deerhoof. When I first heard Runners Four years and years ago I loved it. Then, as I started acquiring more of their music and started throwing them on the iPod, I found her voice to be more and more grating.
Now, I go through spats where I can't stand the band, then a pretty song comes up on shuffle, and I dig through the albums for a bit until I realize that mostly, her voice is just too grating for me. The music itself is wonderful all around, it'd just be better as a goddamn instrumental band.
