    Dan Deacon is a treasure. Some people in this world need to be taken by the scruff of their neck - and dragged - kicking in screaming - towards FUN. Dan Deacon understands that we are all being hardened by society - and he is trying to cure us of our delusions. Dan Deacon is Love.

    Deacon possesses the rare ability to tweak the conventions of his chosen mode of musical expression while expanding them into a distinctive style signature. [No. 118, p.55]

    The morbid motivation behind it all looms like that skull, never far from the festivities, even if Gliss Riffer doesn’t always reproduce its glow.

    This is a record that shrugs off some of the grandiosity of America and instead offers more detail and smaller, more nuanced yet easily interpreted emotions within a relatively familiar context.
