On Parallelogram—the debut single from Moondagger, Deastro's first proper full-length for Ghostly—the pop prodigy enlists a full band to help flesh out his Technicolor visions, and the live instrumentation sends Deastro's intimate sound-worlds spinning into solar orbit.
Parallelogram's synth-pop symphony opens with a cinematic opening riff and careens through a gauntlet of fizzy hooks and ringing arpeggios. Chabot's vocals have grown from the puppy-throated yelp on Keepers into a clear, unaffected tenor with a melancholy glint, and on Parallelogram, he soars.
If Keepers was a peek into Deastro's joyful inner world, the Moondagger LP shows what happens when Randolph Chabot looks out his window and starts aiming for the stars.
