    Deastro

     

     

    Randolph Chabot has been making albums since he was 12 years old -- now, at 22, the Detroit-based musician known as Deastro is ready for his close-up.

    Chicago-based photographer/videographer James P. Morse -- a longtime friend and collaborator of Ghostly International's -- followed Chabot around Detroit for a day and edited the footage into "Ghostly Presents: Deastro," a video profile whose warm, colorful aesthetic matches Chabot's energy and positivity to a T. Chabot putters around his Detroit home, visits his favorite bookstore, gushes about Isaac Asimov and Simone de Beauvoir, and plays a sweaty, packed show with his band. It's a loving portrait of an artist who stays true to his beliefs, staying passionate, engaged, and creative in all of his endeavors.

    Deastro's full-band debut, Moondagger, arrives on June 23rd, and the second single "Vermillion Plaza" -- along with its B-side, a squelchy, lumbering remix by Ghostly Swim featured artist Mux Mool -- drops May 12th on Ghostly International. In the meantime, enjoy "Spritle" which is taken from the "Spritle" 7" released on Five Three Dial Tone.
