Feel worried about Dan Deacon. He is supposed to be 'all zany', like the 'court jester of the indie scene', because he is a big, large, happy man with a conceptual live show, but he told Pitchfork Magazine that he is 'actually very sad on the inside' because of a recent breakup. I am not sure if his music was ever really 'that good' or if it really resonated with people, but I think his shows / personal brand are sort of just an interactive spectacle.

On the EP, Deacon writes, "I've been wanting to release a record like this for some time and my current breakup has been the perfect catalyst to motivate me to finally do it... Unlike my other releases, this music will be much more low key, sparse, and I find the songs to be sad, although others might disagree."

Deacon says that he may release the EP under a name other than his own, just so he can play live without disappointing or confusing the party-up segments of his audience. No word yet on a title or release date.

Seems like he's in a 'dark place.' Does n e 1 know why his lover broke up with him?

Kinda weird to think of a man surrounded with so many alts feeling so sad on the inside. Feel like maybe he could slide into some entry level pussy to 'get over' his ex.

Do u believe that Dan Deacon is depressed, or is he just generating musical content for people to buy?

Does he have to rebrand since his shows have become a generic indie experience?
Will 'emo' be reborn in the form of Dan Deacon songs?
Do u like Dan Deacon, or is he just 'electro poo poo'?
Is Dan Deacon the purest artist in the indie scene right now?
Is depression too unchill of a topic to sell during the chillwave era?
