S.T.R.E.E.T. D.A.D. is the debut album by American electronic dance rock band Out Hud.

Composition[edit]

S.T.R.E.E.T. D.A.D. has been musically aligned with post-rock, with applause given to its uniquely "danceable" take on the genre.[5] Tiny Mix Tapes saw the group "ably" work in an '80s new wave aesthetic, recalling bands like ABC, Duran Duran, and A Flock of Seagulls. Other styles seen include electro, indie rock, and neo-disco.[10] Spin dubbed it "a synth-pop idyll".[8]

Critical reception and legacy[edit]

Calling it "equally cerebral and hip-shaking", AllMusic's Andy Kellman applauded S.T.R.E.E.T. D.A.D. as "an incredibly creative fusion of several styles of music that ends up sounding like no one else in particular".[2] Pitchfork's Eric Carr praised the album's "remarkable substance" through "darkly evocative compositions…filled with unspoken imagery and emotion." It was awarded the site's Best New Music accolade.[7]

More than ten years after its release, Stereogum's Sam Hockley-Smith revisited D.A.D. in the site's Backtrack column. He dubbed it "an ominous, funny and often very deep" album, claiming that it spoke to "the uncertain times we perpetually inhabit".[12] In 2021, Pitchfork credited the album with spreading dance-punk music alongside works by other bands like !!! and Liars.[13]
