I was never a massive fan of Dan Deacon, i loved his sound but found it all just kinda went in ear and out the other, just party music right? It was only after seeing him live at Summertones last week that i really “got” it. Setting up IN the middle of the crowd, talking fast and loud and getting the crowd to participate in ways that i didn’t even think possible, with an enthusiasm and energy that was infectious as hell, i was seriously impressed.
His new LP Bromst, out March 24th, is a much denser, mature record than Spiderman of the Rings. Were i to make a stupid but logical comparison, It’s what Sound Of Silver was for LCD Soundsystem, older, wiser, richer, more experimental and more personal.
Those who have written off Dan Deacon as that “wacky” guy who writes video-game-like party music will have to do a double take.
Snookered is just the second song this year to make me feel both happy, sad and full of hope, the first being Animal Collective’s My Girls. Highly highly Recommended.
