    With Actually, You Can, these four individuals have created a celebration of human possibilities and one of their best records to date.

    Though comprising only nine songs across just over half an hour of music, Actually, You Can is bursting at the seams with ideas.

    Actually, You Can is a testament to the human spirit and the seemingly endless creativity of four people. It’s also a welcome addition to rock’s most diverse catalogue.

    If you’re a longtime fan of the band, you might be concerned about all this talk of simplification - you might even wonder if you’ll be able to detect the kind of madcap playfulness and mind-bending experimentation that brought you to the band in the first place. You’ll find out that actually, you can.

    Lands as another Technicolor blast. [Jan 2022, p.22]

    Deerhoof being Deerhoof, the arty, poppy, proggy noise is jagged, cathartic, and occasionally grand. [Nov 2021, p.88]
