A sneak peak at Dan Deacon's new album 'Bromst'
Bromst, the new album by Baltimore-based composer Dan Deacon, isn't slated to hit shelves until March 24.
But before Bromst comes out, Deacon will release a split 12" with fellow Baltimore musician Adventure.
Here is a sneak preview of "Get Older," one of Deacon's songs on the 12" which will also appear on Bromst.
The limited edition 12" (only 1,000 copies) will be released Jan. 27.
Bromst is a big departure for Deacon, because he used live instruments for a large portion of the album.
I saw a recent MTV special about this, where Deacon said he should no longer be called an electronic composer -- he's just a composer now ...
"Get Older" builds and builds with a mixture of synthesizers, drums and guitar until it finally explodes just before the five-minute mark.
Even though a ton of instrumental parts come together over the course of the six-and-a-half-minute track, "Get Older" doesn't sound cluttered.
I can't wait to hear the rest of the album.
