Dan Deacon and Ben O'Brien film a short scene. A room. Some things on the wall. A small cardboard cut-out. A climactic ending. Then they show it to another pair, and tell those people to recreate the exact same scene in one hour. Then, they show the recreated scene to the next team, and so on and so on. Featuring cameo appearances by Ed Schrader & Devlin Rice of Ed Schrader's Music Beat, Sam Herring & William Cashion of Future Islands, and many more Baltimore luminaries.
Dan Deacon, who is making even releasing a record on a large independent label really fun, gives the world AMERICA on August 27/28, with the help of Domino Records. Here's some tour dates:
