I la la love this video/performance!! Mr. Dan Deacon is up to his usual high energy hi jinx, but this time with oodles of associates, percussionists, and session musicians from the Baltimore area helping him out. Please be patient as “Snookered” builds from a synthy drone groove into a full-fledged future primitive poly-rhythmic master piece of production, percussion, and kinetic energy. Notice how the crowds’ applause after the first track is in some kind of crazy cadence. Almost as though they are additional percussionists involving themselves in to the performance as well. Magical stuff fur sure. Props to Dan Deacon, all the musicians, and to Pitchfork TV for bringin’ it to us.
