Dan Deacon is a chubby balding guy from Baltimore. He's a classically trained composer, and a prominent member of Baltimore's Wham City collective-thing. And god damn does he make fun music. Crazy synths, squeaky vocals, dancy weirdness, bubblegum fun, whatever, this album is real good. Play it loud as you can and either let it wash over you in a wave of obnoxious joy or jump up and down and wave your hands around as intensely as you can. It's all good, because Deacon isn't interested in making something "important" or "powerful." The keywords here are fun and , as one Wham City motto goes, "no jerks."
Also, if you get the chance to see this guy live, GO GO GO. Please, go for me, go for yourself, go for Danny boy.
