Guys: they released the title track as a single! Stereogum has it here: http://stereogum.com/archives/mp3/new-deerhoof-offend-maggie_020151.html
It's fantastic as usual.

Ooh, I can't wait to get home and download this!
I only own Friend Opportunity, but I like it a lot. I agree that Satomi's voice is being used as more of an instrument/accompaniment, and while my music tastes are usually lyrics-oriented, in this case I can get into the music without decipherable or sensical lyrics. It's challenging music, definitely, but somewhere around the third listen it clicked and I was like "this is pretty sweet!" But then, I like Plastic Ono Band too, so maybe I just have a higher tolerance for difficult Japanese singers. I should get more Deerhoof records.
I also think that "trying too hard" is just a phrase used by people who didn't think of doing it first.
JediBendu:
Deerhoof is a band that, when you're 40, the younger generation will think you're cool for being into them when you were a kid.
I'm positive of it.

That new song is so good. I didn't think I could possibly be more excited for the new album.

I'd really like them without that voice. If she were an instrument, she'd probably be an out-of-tune kazoo.

I disagree with this analogy wholeheartedly on a basis of timbre. People are not thrown by Satomi's vocals because of a lack of ability or skill, she just has a purity (albeit thin) in her voice that people do not seem to take a liking to. If you listen, she sings with very little to no vibrato, and is generally flawless in her execution.
