Synopsis

Product Description
Fusing the growing intensity of his live performances with his background in electro-acoustic composition, the result is a collection of pieces that are intense and epic, and at the same time, down to earth and welcoming. Unlike the completely electronic "Spiderman Of The Rings", the instrumentation on "Bromst" is a mixture of acoustic and mechanical instruments, samples, and electronics. The intricate and complex parts are woven together into a rich, dense, noisy dance pop that has become Deacon's signature sound.

"I think I've found the soundtrack to my summer. I hardly listen to any music that ventures this far into electronica, but I might if more of it were this well composed. It's not a perfectly consistent album though - "Surprise Stefani" and "Get Older" don't do much for me, and "Baltihorse" would be much better with a big anthemic group vocal, or even as a purely instrumental song...anything but those "chipmunk" vocals!



But at its best (Build Voice, Wet Wings, Woof Woof, Slow with Horns), it's nearly as brilliant as any of the music I love. In fact, in its finest moments, I'm reminded of one of my favorite bands, Sigur Ros. Not in style, obviously, but in the grandeur and complexity of the music.



Maybe not quite a classic, but still a really, really great album to listen to in the car on a bright summer day."
Brilliant baltimore browbeating beats and noises

"An album which has a way of making you want more- even with the somewhat intense, long lasting layers upon layers of busyness, that paints a J. Pollock on almost every track. You may find it hard to listen to all of the way through, but once you do, it changes from busy to beautiful. I associate some parts of Deacon's album with a reminiscence of kraut styled lengthiness and repetitive beats/noises. Keeping that in mind, Bromst is way more advanced; though the elements are indeed sometimes there. The album is altogether something that sounds--- new!! ...very interesting. very unique. and all without losing replay value. Terrific album by Dan Deacon.



Listen to a sample before purchasing. It can be a bit much for someone who is only slightly into borderline obscure organized chaos. ...and oh yeah, I've heard the live shows are interactive and extraordinarily fun. bonus!!"
All I can say is WOW!

"This album is simply an incredible achievement. The sounds, beats,and textures all combine seamlessly into

a swirling landscape of music. To try and put this album into a specific genre would be doing it an injustice.

It defies genre and in some ways creates it's own.



This album has it all. Some songs got me up dancing, some transported me to the sounds of a Jungle, while others

left me almost speechless.



Assuming you aren't looking for a country western or classical music album, this masterpiece should sound great

to anyone who simply appreciates good music. If your definition of good music is "whatever the radio is playing," this will go right over your head.



However, for those with a diverse taste in music, do yourself a favor and buy this album.

It gets better with every listen."
