Baltimore-based composer and producer Dan Deacon has been described as a maximalist, oddball, and everything in between. Following the release of his forthcoming record Mystic Familiar, out January 2020 via Domino, Deacon delivers a live show that is sure to surprise, engage, and confound. “How do you make something solid, beautiful, and built to last in a time of cultural chaos and personal doubt?” The record comprises kaleidoscopic journeys through meandering, glittering synthpop, born out of personal explorations in meditation, self-compassion, and mindfulness. Polish noise guerrillas BNNT and actress Jaśmina Polak perform new album Middle West, which features their interpretation of "A Letter to Europe," a text written by Swedish-Iranian author Athena Farrokhzad. Together, they formulate a furious accusation against Europe's unfulfilled promises, calling for collective resistance against repressive politics.
