Deastro - Keepers

Taking elements of new wave, synth pop and electronic music, then mashing it all together into the music from a movie that John Hughes wishes he had made if he hadn't gone and sold his soul to the Culkins, Deastro's "Keepers" is an enthusiastic reclamation of all things joyous and wonderful. To call the songs that 22 year-old Randolph Chabot has crafted catchy would be an understatement. Songs like "The Shaded Forest" and "Micheal, The Lone Archer Of The North Shore" run with their exuberance like teenagers dashing through the hall on the last day school, pulling you along with them until you share in their feeling. But then there are the exhale moments, like the beginning of "Open Up Ye Dark Gates!", that are the summer sun and cool breeze car ride of abandonement. Where the elements of your life that form that knot in your belly untie and release you with a gleam in it's eye and a smile on it's face, as if to say, "You needed me, so you could feel like this".
