  1. Positive: 4 out of 8
  2. Negative: 0 out of 8
  1. Far from the naval-gazing, self-conscious banality one might expect from such a young artist, Moondagger is filled with moments of philosophical prowess and intelligence.
  2. Moondagger is a tune-rich excursion into lo-fi romanticism, with 'Parallelogram’s' multitracked vocals harmonizing over a groundswell of glockenspiels sharing DNA with Animal Collective.
  3. It's accomplished and impressive always, but sometimes to the point of verging on an overstuffed din.
  4. Deastro never succumb to trite suburban ennui affections, sounding like they're having the time of their lieves as they navigate the percolations and gurgles of this riotous album. [Summer 2009, p.70]

    This album really deserves higher than a 65 rating. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but the technical wizardry and songcraft on display here are simply stunning. Expand

    Like many other shimmering electro acts this year but each song has it's own pretty piece to it.
