Deacon is known for his whimsical live shows as well as his critically acclaimed albums.<\/p>\n<p>On <i>Gliss Riffer<\/i> he returns to some of his earlier work relying on uptempo electronic tracks which energize the listener. \u201cFeel the Lightning\u201d starts off the album with an electro pop vibe and morphed vocals. \u201cSheathed Wings\u201d is a grand explosion of dynamic vocals and loops. \u201cMeme Generator\u201d is fine example of vigor. It has an infectious beat and a melody that reminds me of a video game theme. \u201cWhen I Was Done Dying\u201d shifts the focus toward Deacon\u2019s unique vocals similar to that of Animal Collective. The song transitions into groovy tribal-esque melody. \u201cLearning to Relax\u201d is a track with a rapid beat wrapped up by synths and reverb.<\/p>\n<p>The album is packed tight with all the right jamz. Deacon self-produced this album and you can tell that it was done so with tender love and care. He gave listeners some accessible tunes while still remaining true to his acoustic electro eccentricity.<\/p>\n<p><b>Recommended If You Like: Panda Bear, Dirty Projectors, Atlas Sound<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Recommended tracks: &#8220;Meme Generator,&#8221; &#8220;When I Was Done Dying,&#8221; &#8220;Feel the Lightning,&#8221; &#8220;Learning to Relax,&#8221; and \u00a0&#8220;Sheathed Wings&#8221;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Reviewed by Emilie Stafford on March 9, 2015<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Self-produced with tender love and care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":33476,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3230,181],"tags":[984,2038,2846],"class_list":["post-33475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-music-rotation","category-rock-rotation","tag-dan-deacon","tag-emilie-stafford","tag-gliss-riffer"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/deacon_glissriffer.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33475"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33475\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
