It doesn’t take long to get a sense of what Dan Deacon is all about.  On his breakout album Spiderman of The Rings, Deacon’s hi-pitched, electro, one man dance party sucks you in and forces you to have fun.  Check this video if you need a visual.  That being said, Spiderman was a few years ago and Deacon is a two months away from releasing his next statement, Bromst.  Until now the album has been a mystery, but with today’s release of the Dan Deacon / Adventure Split 12″ we have our first album track “Get Older.”

The biggest departure Deacon offers on Bromst is a more ensembled cast of instruments.  Instead of just utilizing his tray of lo fi synths, he’s brought in acoustic instruments, drums, brass etc…  From “Get Older” it’s apparent that these additions have done nothing to tamper with the heart of a DD track, but have only created a fuller sonic experience.

Bromst will be released on March 24th and Dan Deacon will embark on yet another massive tour this Spring.  Check dates after the jump.
