Dan Deacon preps Bromst
As we know by now, Baltimore DJ Dan Deacon is in the midst of recording Bromst, his much anticipated followup to 2006’s last year’s Spiderman of the Rings. However, it wasn’t until a new interview with Pitchfork, that we got our first real details about the album expected to be released this fall on Carpark Records.
The record is described as “much darker” “mature,” and “organic,” writing in an email, “I wanted a more overall organic timbre for this album. My last record was very much synthetic, and that was the point. A wider scope of sound sources then just my pedals and synthesis was the timbral goal of this album.”
Deacon continued by citing his growing popularity as something that has allowed him to experiment with different sounds, explaining, “my approach to writing changed. Not to say they aren’t dance songs, but they are more about mass movement rather than dancing at a party. They are more developed, focused pieces. Sort of like a culmination of my past few years of noise-based pop songs. There are still tracks that I think are the party-type jammers I’m associated with, but there are also a lot more tracks that are great for relaxing or just listening to.”
In addition to the album, Deacon has a number of summer dates, which include stops on the recently announced Fuck Yeah Tour.
