Deastro - “Parallelogram”
Two words I don’t generally use together are “anthemic” and “dream-pop”, but in Deastro’s case, both are apt. Detroit-based Deastro, also known as Randolph Chabot, produces upbeat, synth-driven electro-pop that’s sometimes dream-poppy, sometimes anthemic, and sometimes even a little shoegazey. This song, the first single from Deastro’s upcoming full-band album Moondagger, has a kind of Russian Futurists cum m83 feel to it and is a prime example of that anthemic dream-pop that’s so elusive. Moondagger will be released in June on Ghostly International, but if you can’t wait until then, I highly recommend Deastro’s debut album, Keepers.
