These are thick songs built around left-field ideas, positively fat with melodic contentâ??physically shake the record, and sheets of notes would probably spray out like a colorful rain of tonal Skittles.

Minor grumbles aside, Bromst is a thrilling, hyperactive album that runs from calm and composed to frantic and frazzled, usually within the space of an intro.
-
Right from the get-go, whatever "community" Deacon was aiming for seems to be established--the music is inclusive, it's warm, and it invites you in rather than thrusting itself at you, unlike previous Deacon works.
-
Even at his most contemplative and nuanced, Deacon remains a DIY trickster at heart.

BlenderHe's a master of sweaty hyperventilation, but it's his less frenzied moments--the techno equivalent of circular breathing--that keep the party from collapse. [Apr 2009, p.59]
-
MojoCheeky, but delightful. [Apr 2009, p.106]
-
Deacon is a gifted musician capable of so much more, and that makes Bromst feel like a waste.
