Friend Opportunity is the ninth studio album by American experimental rock band Deerhoof. It was released on January 23, 2007, on Kill Rock Stars, ATP Recordings and 5 Rue Christine.
Twelve different front covers were designed for the album by the British artist David Shrigley.[13]
Composition
[edit | edit source]Friend shows Deerhoof shift into traditional pop rock, yielding a "pretty intricate [and] proggy" take on the genre.[14][15] Along with experimental pop, it is also seen as a return to the "listener-friendly" avant-garde music that appeared on Apple O' and Milk Man.[4][16]
