Deastro / D. D. Newmole / The Sleeps / THUNDR PUNCH June 15, 2009

Since he began playing music more than a decade ago, the 22-year-old Chabot has self-released more than three albums’ worth of songs (all recorded in his parents’ basement), drawn his own album covers, and played countless live shows in Detroit’s network of DIY venues. Chabot’s live performances are becoming legendary – ecstatic, synth-driven gatherings that have earned him the admiration and respect of the Detroit scene. Deastro’s demos eventually found their way to eMusic.com, and the digital-download site soon released Keepers, an exclusive greatest-hits package culled from Chabots hundreds of demos. The compilation quickly became one of the site’s best-sellers. After Deastro’s elegantly lurching instrumental “Light Powered” appeared on Ghostly Swim, Ghostly’s collaboration with [Adult Swim], it became clear that Chabot had found a home for his joyful electronic pop, and Ghostly had found a kindred spirit in Deastro.
