Though he's made a name for himself based on his irreverent and impossibly enthusiastic electro-pop, Dan Deacon shows off the more thoughtful side of his hectic composition style on the thoughtfully orchestrated America. Rather than the non-stop, sweat-fueled party atmosphere found on Spiderman of the Rings, the album continues the experimentations Deacon started on Bromst, working more and more with live instruments and exploring emotions outside of "party." With a combination of electronic and orchestral elements, Deacon weaves together an album filled with hope and wistfulness, making America an altogether more subtle and nuanced effort than his previous work. While songs like "Guilford Avenue Bridge" and "Prettyboy" both evoke the beauty of the subtly shifting landscapes that inspired Deacon while he was on a cross-country train trip, the four-part "USA" suite is where the album really comes together. Over the course of its 20-minute running time, the sprawling suite takes Deacon's knack for layering to a new level, especially during the dizzying "USA III: Rail," where the orchestration is chopped up and layered on top of itself to create something intricate, playful, and most importantly, human. In contrast to the shuddering squelch of the synths that kick in at the beginning of "USA IV: Manifest," moments like these serve as a reminder that Deacon, and people as a whole, aren't as beholden to machines as we might think, and America's artful merging of the electronic and the acoustic shows that these tools we dedicate so much time and brain space to can also be used to create something free and emotionally invigorating. ~ Gregory Heaney

商品の紹介

米ボルチモアのエレクトロ・ポップ・アーティスト、ダン・ディーコンがアークティック・モンキーズ擁する英人気レーベル＜Domino＞移籍後初となる6thアルバムをリリース！これまでに5枚のアルバムをリリース。アニマル・コレクティヴ主宰レーベル＜Paw Tracks＞の姉妹レーベルでトロ・イ・モワ所属＜Carpark＞から2009年にリリースされた前作『ブロムスト』で本格的ブレイク！！実験性と彼ならではのファニーなポップセンスが見事に両立されたこの作品は、ピッチフォークの“ベスト・ニュー・ミュージック”も獲得している。3年ぶりとなる本作は、ダークなテーマの底流と、恍惚感と祝賀ムードに溢れたサウンドとの美しいコントラストが強い説得力を持っている。最近、コラボレーション等でクラシック音楽の世界を体験し、本作では音の質感に対してより繊細なアプローチが採用されている点も聞き逃せない！DIYなクラブからコンサートホールまで、世界中のあらゆる場所でパフォーマンスを続けた結果が集約された、ダン・ディーコン史上最もパワフルなアルバムに仕上がった！

Mojo - 4 stars out of 5 -- "AMERICA is an explicit political statement, inspired by coast-to-coast travels across the land....Its 12 eclectic essays weaving between pell-mell electronics, soaring chamber music, clamorous dance-pop, empyrean ambient soundscapes and clattering player piano etudes." Q - 4 stars out of 5 -- "For all its denseness, AMERICA feels as panoramic and wonder-filled as the cross-country travels that inspired it. It races along on a meditative, euphoric roar..." Paste - "In terms of pure philosophy, AMERICA is an album that deserves our respect."

いろいろな意味で奇才と呼ぶに相応しいUSインディーのカリスマ（?）、ダン・ディーコンがドミノ移籍後初となるアルバムを発表。2部構成にした今回は、前半はヴォーカルも入るポップ仕様、後半は組曲形式のインストでブッ飛びまくり。特に後半の、祝祭感と恍惚感をぐちゃぐちゃに掻き混ぜた（実際はよく練り込まれた）ダイナミックな展開が最高だ。20分以上に及ぶその宴に悶絶させられること間違いなし!
