    Cult fave

    Dan Deacon creates textured layered songs that integrate elements of classical music into his mix. He recently made his Carnegie Hall debut and completed his first film score, for none other than Francis Ford Coppola. Today's Top Tune is a kaleidoscope of sound called "

    True Thrush," from his CD,

    America.
