Dan Deacon - America

Total art museum blurbwank

You can say that again Stan.

Some intense drumming on this one, but not as catchy as the songs on Bromst.

This is growing on me the more I listen. I think it's a pretty cohesive, and at times Philip Glass-y album.

It's nice, don't like it as much as Bromst but it's still good. I like how Steve Reichian "USA" is.

I think Bromst had slightly nicer melodies overall, but I do like how much live percussion sounds are on this one.

I've never heard of Dan Deacon till today! fantastic ;]

I've seen him live twice, his show's are so god damned fun... Dude has a unique energy, and his ability to work a crowd (refusal to play on stage, crowd games, etc) is amazing. Last time was this summer at Rock The Garden. It was an outdoor show and it was fucking pouring rain while he was supposed to go on but rather than cancel he pulled his setup into the underground parking ramp at The Walker, and played a short but amazing set in the garage. It ended up with everyone holding up their hands and making a human tunnel bridge as more of the crowd passed through to the end and kept it going, it continued all the way out the garage as the song played on... I'll never forget it, one of the coolest concert memories I have.

shitty mobile pics i snapped quickly during the set...
