there are so many great things centered around todays track by my native detroits very own deastro. besides being a great hometown act whos made it pretty big recently, hes also signed to the great ann arbor record label ghostly international. but whats EVEN cooler than that is where i discovered this track, thanks to gt (even though its been around for a lonnnng time). he recently sent me the ghostly swim compilation, which is a free compilation released by ghostly international and, you guessed it, adult swim, everyones favorite late night irreverent cartoon showcase. the compilation features tons of ghostly international artists as well as a handful of other artists that really bend the rules of music. you can stream or download the whole compilation for free from the adult swim website.
as for deastro (born randolph chabot), hes really been on a roll lately. he released “moondagger” this year which has been met with critical acclaim and has even released a few EPs since. can someone get this guy a wikipedia page already? the track “light powered” is everything i love about deastro. great beats and spaced out happy melodies. hes currently on tour and will be playing his hometown next weekend, so check him out if you can.
buy this track on itunes
did you go to the show with max tundra at the magic stick? i decided not to because of deastro’s band leaving him.
