Deastro | Moondagger

I’d not even heard of Deastro a month ago but every now and then a record comes out of nowhere and makes you take notice. Moondagger, Deastro’s new record, is an electro-psych-pop adventure that does exactly that. It’s ambitious, joyous and an absolutely perfect record to enjoy in bright sunshine.

Deastro – Vermillion Plaza
Deastro – Parallelogram

The record has been compared in some places to the work of Dan Deacon. I for one do not particularly enjoy Deacon’s music…so don’t let those comparisons put you off (though in this part of the internetz I’m pretty sure I’m in the minority when it comes to not digging the Deacon). The record is not now here in Australia. And hey, Joe really digs it as well.

You can stream Moondagger in its entirety below.

Deastro, which is the work of one dude called Randolph Chabot Jr, also keeps a blog. Sometimes he gives away free EPs. Score.
