For Better or Worse, Dan Deacon Has Mashed Up Literally Every Song You Heard This Year

A heaping helping of consumable zeitgeist... with an aftertaste of Psy and a bit of indigestion.

While everyone else is busy tearing their hair out trying to nail down the golden indie-rock-to-rap-to-mainstream-pop-to-hardcore ratio for their exhaustingly expansive "Best of 2012" lists, Dan Deacon has decided to go the Epic Meal Time route by throwing virtually every song that has worked its way into your earholes this year into a weird, chunky audio smoothie. Featuring appearances by everyone from Grimes to Beach House to Skrillex to Death Grips, Wish Book Volume 1 is a heaping helping of consumable zeitgeist… with an aftertaste of Psy and a bit of indigestion.
