David Deacon makes music that makes you want to really listen. His new album, Four, released on Slammin Media, is a tribute to the breadth of his writing ability and his mesmerizing storytelling talent. Four spans a range of heartfelt emotions, relying on songs that require no explanation, just attentive ears and a willingness to be momentarily transformed. All tracks are authored by David Deacon, with David Shaw composing one song, and Andy Ryan composing the other nine.

Four is a stunning soundtrack for an as-yet-unwritten film. Easy Rider 2023, perhaps? The entire album is a superbly structure and vivid experience.

Deacon’s rugged, weary vocals reassure emotionally while provoking any sense of tranquility. The arrangements on the tracks are layered, textured events that make repeated listenings a richly rewarding experience.
