On Milk Man, Deerhoof harnessed all they learned from their previous experiments, and written what may've been their first truly conventional songs. Here, they've focused their maniacal energy into seriously dense and carefully considered songwriting, along with more developed vocal melodies and Deerhoof's first crack at meaningful lyrics: Over the course of this record's 11 tracks, Satomi narrates a coherent (if somewhat disturbing) story about a milk man who kidnaps children and hides them in the clouds.
