Baltimore electronic oddball Dan Deacon is set to release a new EP featuring a cover of a classic Everly Brothers track.
Hailing from the East Coast, Dan Deacon produced countless albums on his own before achieving any kind of recognition. Working at night, the electronic boffin carefully crafted beats which seem unlike anything ever heard before.
Releasing ‘Spiderman Of The Rings’ in 2007, Dan Deacon became a cult hero. Returning last year with ‘Bromst’ the producer is working on a range of projects.
In a posting on his Facebook page Dan Deacon confirmed that he is set to release a new EP. “New self-released EP of sad songs for console organ and voice will be out in a few weeks on a limited run of vinyl, cassette, and CD-R. More info on that soon”.
“Also, new tour dates have been posted and next week I start recording two new albums with the ensemble, one of ragers and one of meditative ragers. Two thousand zen.”
Interesting stuff! Speaking to Pitchfork, Dan Deacon revealed that he is set to release a version of the Everly Brothers’ evergreen classic ‘All I Have To Do Is Dream’.
Alongside this, the producer is working on two different albums. “One album will be four larger-form pieces (around 20 minutes each, trying to keep them that length so they fill the side of a 12″). These are for my ensemble plus a large strings and brass section”.
“The other will be more pop-song-length pieces, but a lot of the songs tend to be nosier and harder than my previous work… I would say I have 75% of these two albums finished, and I plan on writing the other 25% in the studio. I’ve always treated the studio as an afterthought and am always kind of rushing the process.”
Dan Deacon is set to release a new EP shortly.
