Dan Deacon - Rat Film

*'Rat Film'* marks **Deacon's** first full record devoted to modern composition. In between his four ecstatic Electronic-Pop albums, **Deacon** has frequently flexed the 21st-century Classical muscles he first developed studying at SUNY Purchase's Conservatory of Music. He's provided soundtracks for film and stage giants ranging from *Francis Ford Coppola's Twixt* to *Justin Peck's "The Times Are Racing'.* **Deacon's** array of compositional commissions includes pieces with *Kronos Quartet at Lincoln Center, Sigur Rós at the L. A. Philharmonic,* and *So Percussion at the Barbican Centre.*
