People much cooler and more inside than I have known about Baltimore artist Dan Deacon since he began appearing at local clubs around 2003 or so, but he’s relatively new to me. Deacon has been described as an “absurdist” electronic musician for his goofy sense of style and flipped out, high-octane live performances. It might be a spectacle of hipster irony. Or perhaps Deacon is just a socially retarded nut bag. But I chose to believe he’s the real deal: an inspired uber-geek lost in the swirling soundscape of his own blissful mind, high on the trippy casiotone beats that infect an audience and get them jumping up and down. This video is for his song, “Crystal Cat.”
