Happy Monday: Dan Deacon has bestowed upon us Wish Book Volume 1, a new "DJ style release" in which he's mashed up artists culled from various corners of pop and anti-pop. There's indie peers like Grimes, Beach House, and Dirty Projectors, bits of experimental noise from the likes of Black Dice and Lightning Bolt, and everything from Radiohead and Brian Eno to Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj. It's all delivered with the kinetic, propulsive spirit for which Deacon is best known.
Here's his liner notes detailing the collection's full contents:
