Released in 2012 on Domino Records, America is Dan Deacon's most ambitious and celebrated work, a bold electronic concept album that wrestles with questions of cultural identity and national values. Drawing comparisons to Kate Bush's Hounds of Love in its structural approach, the album splits into two distinct halves — a collection of maximalist, adrenaline-fueled pop songs on side A, followed by the sweeping four-part "USA" suite on side B.
The result is a record that masterfully balances euphoric energy with genuine contemplative depth, showcasing Deacon at his most expansive and emotionally resonant. Side A delivers hyperactive, joyous anthems like "Guilford Avenue Bridge" and "True Thrush," while side B builds into something far more cinematic and introspective, making America a compelling listen from start to finish. This release also includes a 2-foot by 3-foot all-weather fabric flag featuring the striking album artwork, making it a memorable addition to any collection.
