Dan Deacon’s latest reminds me of Gerling, the proto-electro act out of Sydney that spawned a small but dedicated following in the early noughties but died before their style really came into fashion. Bolshy and erratic, True Thrush is Deacon’s typical day-glo, party-starting sound, hopping wildly from one chunky beat pattern to the next, pinned together with a bawling chorus and Dan’s own shouting good-time vocal. It comes from the latest Dan Deacon album, America, due out in August.
