MILK MAN

Deerhoof's Milk Man is being reissued on vinyl in celebration of the band's upcoming?All Tomorrow's Parties performance of the album this July in London (alongside The?Flaming Lips and Dinosaur Jr).?The starting point for Milk Man was a cartoon character created by Japanese artist?Ken Kagami, a longtime friend of Deerhoof vocalist Satomi Matsuzaki. In contrast?to the earnest guitar rock that predominated on their previous album Apple O', Milk?Man featured a broad palette of orchestral colors, echoes of music theater and camp,?polished and gaudy arrangements, Stravinskian harmonies, and a more stylized,?anonymous playing style resulting partly from recording most of the instruments at?separate times rather than playing together as a band, and partly from many of the?arrangements being created in a computer.?Critical praise for Milk Man came notably from NME and Spin. The song Milk Man?was chosen in 2009 as one of Pitchfork's top tracks of the decade.??PROMOTIONAL SUPPORT?* Previous reissue (Friend Opportunity sold out before release date).?* Album has been out of print for years.?* Reissue publicity by Four Paws Media (Elliott Smith, Xiu Xiu, Former Ghosts).?* Deerhoof has been featured in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, SPIN, URB,?Billboard, MSNBC, NYLON, NME, Elle, Pitchfork, The New Yorker, Artforum,?TeenPeople, Modern Drummer, cover of The Wire and many more.?* The band will be constantly touring throughout 2011 in support of their new album?Deerhoof vs. Evil.?* This reissue will come on the heals of a massive press and video campaign in support?of Deerhoof vs. Evil.?* Limited to 1000 copies on 180-gram banana colored vinyl.?* Includes digital download code of the album.?* Includes new mixes and sequencing not included on the original LP.??TRACK LISTING?1.
