Deastro “Moondagger” Ghostly International UPC: 804297908502 Territories: US, Canada Release Date: 6.2.09 |
Moondagger expands upon the positive electro-pop of Keepers with the addition of a full band. Thankfully, the prolific Chabot still seems blissfully unaware of his music’s genreless-ness. Thick, atmospheric production obscures bright melodies; ecstatic synth squiggles dance around new-wave beats; arrangement ideas bounce off one another within ambitious song structures that swerve left, then right, then left again. |
