Dan Deacon
Gliss Riffer
[Domino]
Gliss Riffer is the sound of Dan Deacon finally hitting the sweet spot between his two most prevalent modes: the Steve Reich inspired acoustic percussion-based maximalism seen on his sophomore release, Bromst, and the kaleidoscopic, bangers with which he made his name. Both modes combine here to make perhaps the most clear and holistic document of Deacon’s unique set of skills. Thus, Gliss Riffer is as fine starting point for the uninitiated as it is a boon for the hardcore, regardless the kind of Deac they dig.
