DAN DEACON’S GLISS RIFFER STREAMING IN FULL VIA NPR “FIRST LISTEN”

Dan Deacon is excited to announce the full stream of his brand new album, Gliss Riffer. Courtesy of NPR Music, Gliss Riffer is now available to stream in full one week prior to its official release date, Tuesday, February 24 on Domino. Check out the exclusive stream over at NPR Music HERE. Additionally, Dan Deacon has shared ‘Learning to Relax’ from the album. Listen to it here. It follows the release of the Andrew Jeffrey directed video for Gliss Riffer opening track ‘Feel The Lightning

‘Learning to Relax,’ a live favorite that took shape while being performed on the road last year in support of Arcade Fire, is yet another exploration of Deacon’s newfound appreciation of tracks featuring predominate vocal melodies. It’s one of the many songs onGliss Riffer reveling in equal parts exuberant uncontained good times as well as dramatic flair. The same could be said for the ‘Learning to Relax’ animation created by Alan Resnick, as described by the creator himself: Two parallel columns of cubes are colored with complementary gradients. The cubes oscillate at faster and faster rates, which create the optical illusion of color mixing within elaborate visual patterns.

Download the stems to ‘Learning to Relax and ‘Feel the Lightning’ from Dan Deacon’s Soundcloud page.

Deacon announced a North American April/May 2015 tour that will follow several sold out release week shows later this month in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Today Dan will be playing a special Boiler Room show in London.
