Dan Deacon - Bromst - In The Studio

[@marksamuelcohen]

Have never been into electronic music….until last night when I saw Dan Deacon open for Arcade Fire in Pittsburgh. I'm converted, Dan Deacon is really an extraordinary artist! His music is transportive. I'm a fan.

[@greenmachine933]

Same here. Saw him open for Arcade Fire in Philly last week. Never even knew what Electronica was... been listening to him all week.

[@bassrawkers]

He opened for Arcade Fire? Whoa! I got to see him twice back in 07 and was preaching the Deacon back then. He hooked me up with a shirt he made with a duck on it and used a gratuitous amount of electrical tape on all his props, equipment and even glasses. Definitely one of the most interesting folks to talk to.

[@morganmccormick3450]

marksamuelcohen I was at that show :D

[@victorious2178]

This was the best 30min I’ve spent on the internet in a while

[@curioMuseum]

Dan Deacon makes me SO HAPPY. Every song fills your head all the way up with goodness. There's nothing like it.

[@anandjj5077]

Yeah man. What a gigantic sound he's got

[@CJBarrow1]

You’re completely right! I’m just happy hearing someone else say what I also believe is totally true, and also said so eloquently too.

[@GrizzlyNightman]

I have mad respect for Dan Deacon, the man has a great sound to all of his music.. and all of his songs are incredibly unique and so different. And his main goal is to release all of the fear and anxiety that ties us down to-in a lack of better terms; peaking over our shoulders to feel safe.. he washes away that feeling at his shows and makes people appreciate other people for who they are and what they are as a whole. He has a hell of a vision.

[@KiNGxKG]

Pitchfork, please bring more videos like this back. The Zummuto video was also great. No more selector either...

[@Elyot90]

Just seen this guy in leeds UK 2 hours ago and he blew my mind.

[@CJBarrow1]

I’m jus happy knowing Dan exist. What’s funny is this video is only confirming what I had suspected is why he is my all time favorite modern musician, after watching this I got satisfactory answers.

[@Sporkyspoonz]

Just beautiful. It's so awesome to find channels that take such care in covering elements of the music world that most might not know about..just....thank you pitchfork...please keep it up. Now I'm off to go buy Bromst.

[@usernamebada42]

I'm from Montana. We've been getting a lot of love from the music world lately. I'm really excited for it. Part of me wants to believe Missoula will be the next Athens, GA

[@dblo01]

Such a good album. First album i owned that fully had my attention on every song.

[@jireland8824]

A real plate reverb is awesome. That player Piano is awesome too. Dream studio.

[@alchemistrpm82]

This video was my intro to Dan Deacon, and I'm already a fan. I'm a big Animal Collective / Panda Bear fan, so I think Deacon's work is right up my alley. Sweet studio! Son-of-a-bitch I wish I was a studio (or any) musician. While it's obviously a ton of work even if you're not as meticulous as Deacon, it just looks like the job from heaven to me. Great video.

[@user-ui7jw8ow4f]

Be reminded

[@alchemistrpm82]

@@user-ui7jw8ow4f lol thanks

[@wekky420ranarr]

So Bromst is what happens when you isolate two dudes for a couple months in a cabin?

[@hungryfireworkshop7906]

this is one of my favorite albums...ever!

[@PizzaProblems]

1:17 I now use the term "I've got bromst" for this feeling. I will say this for the rest of my life and you can't stop me. Love this album and this video by the way, have for years. Just wanted you to know I got bromst

[@bravetherainbow]

A moment of silence for the three balls that were sacrificed for this video

[@Vemonsss]

DAT PASSIVE AGGRESSIVENESS

[@noradosmith]

The man's a genius

[@codeninja100]

[@codeninja100]

[@kopfzucker5399]

"what kinda sound are we going for?" "trippy"

[@SpencerTichenor]

It’s criminal that this has less than 1k likes

[@theresaclancy6091]

Dan, you have a great love for nature like your mom. I'm sure she is very proud of you. Xo

[@goldmoogle]

Pause at 20:08, two of his tracks are named "Redrum 1" and "Redrum 3".

[@VioletGreenfields]

This is my faaaaave ever

[@JMTHHH]

13:05, jesus and the christ, that is so awesome.

[@8-BitHeart79]

Electronic music: Making the Impossible, Possible since, forever!.....

[@nickfury89]

Watching this video on less than 720p is like watching a documentary on colors on a black and white tv

[@moatrboat]

what an incredibly fascinating, intensive process. i have all the more admiration for Bromst. I really wish it showed them doing 'Snookered' though..

[@axbrecords]

Cool Dan

[@fromthedoor]

cocker spaniel!!

[@nathanasbury2083]

God I remember when Pitchfork was cool

[@SquirrelFromGradLife]

Except you can't hear it's a piano in the final version that how condensed the sound is

[@SKRIBEmusic]

10:05 fuck yeah.

[@EvWuzhere]

Brett is daddy. Call me brett. I dont have a phone

[@ill_Whirrl]

"for people who are overly ironic and unauthentically adgy" or for you to judge people based on how popular their music/what their audience is/how they dress.

[@elusivemoon33]

But.. I love you.

[@nilssonschmillson5395]

Yummy hair bro.

[@Doeniel02]

whats the song at 01:44

[@docdrizzle1]

it said that he cut his own hair one morning. i dont think its scabs.

[@RosaMobb]

He's a musician of course he's using a mac

[@slintank]

What's wrong with him being a hipster if he's making good music? Most musicians are hipsters in a way.

[@ill_Whirrl]

Idk my dad refused to be labeled a hippy cuz he was a musician labels suck the Boston sound etc cool guy all in all

[@MVHooperBlackCohosh]

But the only point you've made is that you make music on your PHONE - So just stop, Dan is on the right track to becoming the Philip Glass of electronic music, and I wouldn't expect someone whose username is a pop punk band to get it anyways so don't expect an argument, weenie.

[@SquirrelFromGradLife]

Well if you're running MIDI through a piano why not just use a Nord Electro and you'll have a piano playing that fast that sounds amazing balls

[@thadiuscornwall2949]

Wellllll............ somebody really likes cheeseburgers!!!

[@ashbisto]

oh my god >>>>>>>especially people who buy apple products. i think you knew that, but still decided to pretend to be the white knight please stop jumping to conclusions seems as if you're fishing for stupid generalizations to back-up your insults, just stop

[@Rosalina102798]

Like Animal Collective fronted by a classically-trained university graduate with ADHD and a heroin addiction.

[@everchanger23]

why does he look like he always smells like lotion. not the scented kind, but like eurcerin. brilliant mind, amazing art, couldn't stand to be near the guy for more than a few minutes nonviolently.

[@lucasfeldman3401]

Good art gets made when an artist doesn’t want to compromise and knows how to communicate that

[@seanslade6427]

I suspect that no one in this tedious infomercial has any idea how embarrassing this all is.
