Experimental pop producer Dan Deacon is sharing his bewitching cartoon video for new single "When I Was Done Dying".

The animated clip features scrawlings from the likes of Chad VanGaalen, Jake Fried, KOKOFREAKBEAN, Anthony Francisco Schepperd, Caleb Wood, Taras Hrabowsky, Dimitri Stankowicz, Colin White, and Masanobu Hiraoka

Deacon's Gliss Riffer is out now via Domino.

You can read our review of the record here, where we said that "Deacon has mastered the human connection that is achievable on a base level when tinkering with alien, replicant sounds but dealing in personal emotion. Like the disembodied voice of HAL in 2001, sounds of the robotic, further those tangentially linked to space, have a unique appeal to the human ear, triggering all kinds of untapped inklings, ideas and feelings. Like metal on skin, this is in essence the intrinsic appeal of electronic music in the simplest terms and Deacon harnesses this to some great effect."
