A thrilling, hyperactive album that runs from calm and composed to frantic and frazzled, usually within the space of an intro.

Pitchfork
Deacon does what most acts do to follow up a small hit: The palette is richer, the samples smoother, the space larger, the programming slightly less buzzy.

Even at his most contemplative and nuanced, Deacon remains a DIY trickster at heart.

No Ripcord
Not as immediately enjoyable as its predecessor, but that's OK. He is out to be your new favorite artist, not just some flash in the pan….An excellent followup to a slightly more-excellent debut, and proof that Deacon isn't going anywhere.

Drowned In Sound
Wildly inventive, but what impresses most is that for all the levity, Dan Deacon has managed to impressively reign in his flights of fancy.

The Baltimore electronic composer’s beats are manic, exuberant and overstuffed with ’80s synth-popsquiggles

‘Bromst’ may not be a record to everyone’s taste, but the best ones rarely are, and those prepared to give it the time it deserves will be duly rewarded.
