Party Ends

   In case the news hasn't been heard by all, throughout the whole world, PartyEnds fav Dan Deacon just got 'best new music' from Pitchfork for his recently released Spiderman of the Rings. Damn strait. After that insane, galvanizing, and slightly odd performance at the PartyEnds & company 2007 SXSW day show Friday Fiasco, we might have deemed it 'best music ever', or maybe just one of the best live performances we've seen in a good long while.

   Fraught with manic, deranged, lo-fi beats, synths, and fucked up sounds, Dan Deacon's music is a tangled, beautiful weave of vocoders and layered effects that is in one moment a tangled knot of flashing Christmas lights and the next a French braid of flaxen hair. We've been looking forward to this release for a bit, so join us in picking up a copy as soon as you can. Or you can buy one here.

Please have a look-see.
