A Dan Deacon Dedication to Dolores Days

There's something about the new Dan Deacon album that sounds a lot like Dolores Days...it's a little slower, more comfortable than the acclaimed Spiderman of the Rings. Recorded in Montana near Glacier National Park, Bromst delivers a dense exploration of human-mechanic music making. It packs in multiple tracks, even of the same instrument, at a relentless pace that reaches into 1/32 notes. They used a handmade metal sheet to harness every bit of reverb. The creativity, willingness to explore the far reaches of electronic and acoustic sound and the relentless positivity and perpetuation of change make this a great album for sitting in the park, eating a truffle and working on your sunburn. Known for circus-like shows, he's not afraid to venture into the spiritual and reminds you that he's the ringleader of this sonic rabbit hole. Check out the dance battles from his show at the Great American Music Hall last month [skip ahead to 3:30 in]:
