Twacky Cats, released by Comfort Stand Records in 2004, is an EP by American electronic musician Dan Deacon. Each song explores a different style. "Arms Saloon" is a sampled based piece drawing samples from the works of Buddy Holly and Deacon's signature FM modulated sine waves dominating it. "Lion With A Sharks Head" is a hi-tempo absurdist song about various animals in a jungle. "Connor Kizer with Bead Jewelery" (sic) is a slow ambient song that segues into "When I Was Taller" - a highly experimental song that verges on noise and neoclassical all at once. Ending the EP is "Ohio," except unlike the NBC performance version, this version has no pitch modified vocals and a less prominent bridge with a quieter sine background.
