I just got this one in the mail from the mysterious Philip Seymour Hoffman and it really couldn’t have come at a more exciting time. By now I’m sure that most of you have picked up Dan Deacon’s Bromst and have probably either worn the vinyl out, scratched the CD from bringing it car to car or have burnt out your computer from too many repeated plays. Needless to say, the album is inspiring, captivating from start to finish and a beautiful display of what happens when you get together with your FRNDS. Wham City, FMLY has always been full of huge appreciators and we always will be.
Back to PSH, this anonymous character sent over an arrangement of four parts from three Dan Deacon tracks off of Bromst with added keyboards and vocals. The outcome isn’t necessarily a rework as we saw with PSH’s take on Meals for Children’s “Geebot,” but a new perspective on a fresh album that is worth checking out.
