When you've settled in to your day and have had your first or maybe second (yeah, let's go with second) cup of coffee, take a listen to the latest single from dance-jam musicmaker Dan Deacon. The song is one that Deacon has been playing live, but hadn't been recorded until recently, and will be available on 7″ for the much-hyped Record Store Day. The release is limited to 500 copies and is extra special because Side A features drumming from Kevin O’Meara and former Ponytail drummer Jeremy Hyman, while Side B highlights the drumming of Dave Jacober and Roomrunner frontman/former Double Dagger drummer, Denny Bowen.
The track, “Konono Ripoff No. 1”, is spastic and manic, building off one melodic riff that spins out of control into Deacon's echoey vocal additions and contrasting drums. It'll wake you out of your slumbery state, that's for damn sure. You can pick up your copy on RSD, out through Domino Records.
