Now exiting Wham City

New song “Lots” by Dan Deacon is a little annoying and repetitive, but I have to admit it’s still oddly catchy.

I can’t understand a word, and the middle sounds like a fuzzy dubbed bootleg, but Deacon’s clear musical talent still shines through in the song’s subtleties.

He uses sound in a way that only a complex musical mind could, and he blends seemingly conflicting elements to create music where there shouldn’t be. This is the type of song that ends up on a car commercial and makes hipsters cry.

Until then, though, they can enjoy the strange electronic music their parents don’t understand and pride themselves in the fact that their musical palate is unique and eclectic.

I won’t be blasting this from my car speakers any time soon, but I didn’t hate it.
