Dan Deacon announces new album, America, out on Domino this August

Domino announces the release of Dan Deacon’s new album, America, out August 28th (North America) / August 27th (Rest of the world).

The ecstatic, celebratory sounds found on America, are in compelling contrast with the darker thematic undercurrents.The album demonstrates anger, confusion, and apocalyptic anxiety over corporatism and war, but finds consolation in the geography of the United States and in recent social movements both domestic and international.

There’s a subtler approach to timbre on America, informed by Deacon’s recent experiences in the classical world – commissions and collaborations, his Carnegie Hall debut; his first film score (for a Francis Ford Coppola film). The integration of acoustic textures – including concert percussion, winds, brass, and strings — has ramped up exponentially since Deacon first ventured outside of purely synthesized sound on 2009’s Bromst.
