Electronic artist Dan Deacon has announced the release of a new album titled Gliss Riffer — the artwork's above — and shared the music video for its opening track "Feel the Lightning," which you can check out below. The Jeffrey Wright-directed video features an array of inanimate objects coming to life and partying together when their house is empty, so it is like Toy Story but with things that are less cute.

Gliss Riffer is set for release Feb. 24 in North America and will be Dan Deacon's first studio album since 2012's America. According to a press release, reported Consequence of Sound, the album is a "return to a simpler way of writing and recording," which "trades in exuberant, uncontained fun that is tempered by lyrics that yearn and are set in defiance of life's nagging anxiety. The bliss on this record is well-earned."

You can pre-order Gliss Riffer now through Domino Records and iTunes.
