About
America is a studio album by American electronic musician Dan Deacon, released August 27, 2012 on Domino Record.The album cover is a photo of Lake Placid.America was recorded using both electronic sounds and live recordingsAn anechoic chamber was built in Baltimore to record the orchestral track "Rail."The reason Deacon decided to incorporate live instruments onto the album was that Deacon felt that electronic beats were limited by its lack of flaws and that he wanted the "slight imperfection in timing" human musicians have. Because he wanted the album to sound "more like a rock record" than an electronic one, Deacon enlisted King Crimson engineer Simon Heyworth to master the album. In an interview with NPR, Deacon said that the album was inspired by the politics and geography of the United State, saying: “The music is definitely inspired by geography. I do many, many cross-country trips a year because I tour, and it's hard to — you could really despise every aspect of what you think American culture is but it's hard to deny that the land itself is beautiful. Do you know what I mean?" .
