dan deacon

he has a new soundtrack album out, called Well Groomed, a movie about...I dunno, haircuts for dogs or something

I didn't really get into his other soundtracks but this one is pretty good in a "Dan Deacon lite" sorta way, lotta shimmery and very pretty bits in here, almost sounds like Harmonia

this rules

I've got his main albums on vinyl now and something that strikes me about the first 3 is they have bits which just overwhelm the speakers ("True Thrush" and "Get Older" are the two biggest offenders). normally I'd say they were just mastered lousy but I wonder if there's something inherent in Dan's music that vinyl can't handle. like it's too dense to be accurately etched into the wax. Gliss Riffer & Mystic Familiar don't have that problem.
