  Few electronic albums are this joyful, strange, or inventive. Dan Deacon builds songs from warped samples, manic rhythms, and layers of synthetic sound that somehow become irresistibly catchy. Tracks like "The Crystal Cat" feel chaotic at first but reveal surprising compositional sophistication. The album captures the energy of a basement party and an experimental art project simultaneously. It's one of the defining statements of late-2000s underground electronic music.
