New Woof Woof EP released 19th April 2010 on Amazing Sounds.

LIMITED ONE-TIME PRESSING - ONLY 500 COPIES WORLDWIDE

By now you'll know Baltimore's Dan Deacon. Dubbed 'oddball' by many, 'inspired' by more, he's one guy treading many thin lines - confidently straddling between nutjob and genius, downright brilliant and insanely mind-bending, and with a live show from another world inducing more audience participation than a seriously skewed pantomime.

The label Amazing Sounds has brought together kindred spirits Hudson Mohawke, Allez-Allez and Luke Abbott to create a rich and varied EP which mirrors Dan Deacon's rich and varied music.

This is only the second release on Amazing Sounds, the first being a 12" of remixes from the Krautrock classic Harmonia & Eno '76 album 'Tracks & Traces' (with remixes from Shackleton and Appleblim & Komonazmuk). This next vinyl release is a one time only pressing of 500 copies.

And anyone who's ever found themselves gathered around the mad scientist-like, Daffy Duck T-shirt wearing dude behind an array of multicoloured gaffa-taped equipment and mid tag-team dance contests, beckoning at strangers and taking part in frenzied sing-alongs will know the Dan Deacon experience. His art is about community and how to organise and inspire it.

Founding now well-known art collective Wham City, organising and running annually sold-out DIY music festival Whartscape, and conceiving, planning and curating massive 60 person/30 band tour Baltimore Round Robin, it's clear that bringing people together is the major theme in his work.

Deacon's latest album which Woof Woof is taken from, Bromst is the embodiment of that way of thinking. And if you think in any way the subject matter on Bromst is any less random than before, think again;

"Much of BROMST is a story about becoming a ghost, cycles of the earth, mountains, getting older, change, nonlinear time, bees, global conspiracy/oppression of the spirit, 2012, and a psychedelic realm that coexists amongst our material plain," explains Dan. "A lot has changed since Spiderman - Wham City getting shut down, heartbreak, becoming more spiritual, bullshit like that - so I'd say Bromst has a wider range of emotion and direction than the previous album".

So here it is then, a more emotionally-charged, intricate and complex EP, skilfully executed and woven together into a rich, dense, noisy dance pop that's become Dan Deacon's signature sound and all tied up with beautiful original label design by Amazing Sounds in house artist, famed designer James Joyce. We'd expect nothing less.

"Deacon is the Salvador Dali of electro... a refreshing example of someone rewriting rules of music as he goes along" - The Guardian
