Baltimore wildman Dan Deacon has signed to Carpark Records, joining such Baltimore-connected pals as Beach House and the Animal Collective guys on the roster. His new LP, Spiderman of the Rings, is slated for a May 8 release. In addition, it will digitally distribute and reissue Deacon's Meetle Mice (2003) and Silly Hat Vs. Egale Hat (2003).

In support of the new record, Deacon will embark on a Stateside tour in early March with a few creatively named pals-- Santa Dads, Butt Stomach, and Video Hippos-- from Baltimore artists collective/venue Wham City. He has a handful of local gigs slated for this month as well.
