Yes, this finger-puppeteered clip for “Paddling Ghost” features a cutely expressive puppet paddling ghost, but it also has a few moments of a scaled-down and fingered Dan Deacon, and that is really something special. Bromst‘s symphonically blipped standout serves as the soundtrack to a story of an eye-patched ghost traveling through the clouds, water, and desert for a treasure guarded by a pirate (who appears in time to mouth “Paddling Ghost”‘s less chipmunked/more yo-ho-ho chant refrains). Puppets being what they are, we can be certain Dan is not on acid during this one, either. Fairly certain.
