Dan Deacon returns with new track "Become a Mountain"
Dan Deacon has returned with his first single of 2020 "Become a Mountain", the second single to be lifted from his upcoming album Mystic Familiar.
"Become a Mountain" lands after Deacon's October 2019 single "Sat By A Tree".
Discussing the new single, Deacon says, "During the four years over which I composed the songs that became Mystic Familiar, I began going to therapy and started a meditation practice. I felt raw and vulnerable while making this album, and I wanted the music to reflect that."
He adds, "The lyrics in "Become A Mountain" lay out the framework for the album’s overall concept: a Narrator and their Mystic Familiar. Our Narrator, in the opening verse and choruses, is trying to learn how to be self-compassionate, to live a life in the present while being able to deal with self-doubt and anxiety in a lifetime of great flux and foundational transformations. Meanwhile, our Mystic Familiar, in verse two and the pre-choruses, tries to help guide the transformations of our narrator through mantras coaxing me to be present in the now, even while also being an element of chaos itself."
Mystic Familiar is Deacon's first studio LP since 2015's Gliss Riffer. Since Gliss Riffer, Deacon has scored eight films.
