Milk Man is the sixth album by the band Deerhoof, released in 2004. It is something of a concept album, based on a character (the "Milk Man" shown on the cover of the album), created by Japanese artist Ken Kagami, a friend and onetime housemate of the band. ^[7] The album was remastered and reissued in 2011 by ATP Recordings. ^[8]
