Dan Deacon is nearly finished recording Bromst, the follow-up to last year’s spastic Spiderman of the Rings. He’s currently in the studio with his buds, putting the finishing touches on the album, which has actually been in the works for quite some time now. In fact, Deacon began work on the album before Spiderman was even released! Fucked up, I know! I could hardly believe it either when I first heard the news, but I sure believe it now. Sometimes, you just have to have faith, you know? I actually feel kind of bad that I was a non-believer at first, but better late than never. I’ll definitely be more receptive next time. That I promise.

Carpark is tentatively planning to release Bromst either late September or some time in October. (BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TRACKLISTING.) In the meantime, check out Deacon’s video for "Okie Dokie," and good luck finding a copy of Wham City Box #1 (TMT News). At least you have a chance to check out his summer tour.
