Michael, the Lone Archer from the North Shore


I had the chance to see the one-man extravaganza Deastro a week ago and, quite frankly, my mind was blown. Randy Chabot handles all instruments and crafts what kind of sounds like a more danceable, lo-fi version of M83, but with a lot more Nintendo influences. Something that must be heard for yourself. Live, it is one of the most fun, intense and breathtaking of times I've had in a while.

These songs come from his We Will Never Waver Quiverstar album, but in talking to him after the show he said there is a double disc album in the works for later this year that will be much higher quality, as these were recorded using merely a four-track. I am anxiously awaiting it.
