Baltimore artist Dan Deacon’s art is centered on community and bringing people together. Fusing together the growing intensity of his live performances with his background in electro-acoustic composition, Deacon’s most recent album, Bromst, embodies the same energy and excitement as his earlier work but expands both in scope and palette. The instrumentation on Bromst is a mixture of acoustic instruments, mechanical instruments, samples and electronics, featuring player piano, marimba, glockenspiel, vibraphone, live drums, winds and brass. Deacon’s intricately complex music is woven together into what has become his signature sound: rich, dense, noisy dance pop.

Know Before You Go
The City has temporarily closed four natural grass ballfields (Fields 5,6,7,8) at Red Hook Park after detecting elevated lead levels in the soil. The risk of exposure is small and we have taken immediate cautionary action by covering bare soil and reseeding parts of the outfield and adding clay to the infield, as well as adding clay to a nearby bleacher area. The area will be closed for 6-8 weeks to allow for sufficient grass growth. The City will conduct regular assessments of the impacted areas to ensure that treatments remain intact while developing a longer-term solution.
As a reminder, parents should have children wash their hands whenever they come in from playing outdoors. The Health and Parks Departments will continue to work together to make sure New Yorkers have safe, accessible places to exercise.
