DAN DEACON SHARES NEW “WHEN I WAS DONE DYING” VIDEO Directed by Adult Swim’s Off The Air Taken from Gliss Riffer out now on Domino

Dan Deacon has shared a new music video for ‘When I Was Done Dying,’ directed by Adult Swim’s Off the Air.

The video’s an exquisite corpse style of collaborative animation, with one of nine animators, each handling their own thirty second segment of the song. See the full list of credits below or at Off the Air.  It marks the first time for both Deacon and Off the Air to work on a music video in this style, but the second time they’ve collaborated on a music video, following the video for 2012’s America’s “USA 22 minute orchestral suite.
