Dan Deacon’s<\/strong><\/a> impending new album, America<\/strong>, will come out on Domino Records<\/strong> on 8\/28 and is already garnering more buzz than any of his prior seven (7!) albums.\u00a0\u00a0 As you will see and hear, Deacon<\/strong><\/a> mines the fertile Flaming Lips\/Animal Collective<\/strong> musical vein on the new album.\u00a0 Check out below the official video for True Thrush<\/strong><\/em> off of America<\/strong>.\u00a0 About the video we are told:<\/p>\n

“The video co-directed by Ben O’Brien and Dan Deacon is based on a drawing game popular in the Baltimore art collective Wham City<\/strong>, which is in turn based on the game “telephone.”<\/p>\n

For the video, Dan and Ben filmed a simple 13-second scene. That scene was then shown to the next team. After seeing the video that team had 1 hour to recreate it — characters, props, set, costumes, and actions — as close to exactly as possible from only their memory.”<\/p>\n

After True Thrush<\/strong><\/em>, next check out another track (Lots<\/strong><\/em>) off of the new album, and then a fun slice of Deacon’s live act (from SXSW<\/strong> courtesy of NPR<\/strong>) at bottom (the analog drumming and percussion are particularly commendable).<\/p>\n
