The Runners Four feels like a brightly colored machine assembled from crooked gears, toy-box melodies and sudden bursts of guitar noise. Deerhoof move freely between sweetness and abrasion, letting songs wobble, sprint, collapse and rebuild themselves without ever losing their strange internal logic. Satomi Matsuzaki’s light, precise voice gives the music an almost weightless center, while the band surrounds her with restless rhythms, sharp riffs and melodies that appear from unexpected angles. The album is long and constantly shifting, but its best moments make experimentation feel playful rather than academic. Beneath all the fractured structures and unpredictable turns, Deerhoof remain a deeply melodic band, capable of making something beautiful from sounds that should not comfortably fit together. The Runners Four is eccentric, noisy and occasionally bewildering, yet it carries the unmistakable joy of musicians discovering new shapes while the tape is rolling.
