Cale Parks

While he's best known for decades of drumming in Yeasayer, Aloha, and such high profile side hustles as Passion Pit, Chet Faker, Paradis, and Joan of Arc, Cale Parks has become more of a mood-altering electronic producer in recent years. The first sign of that shift was 2015's Lagoon Fool EP, a multi-faceted record that featured lots of interlocking melodies and everything from acid techno asides ("Big Hills") to piano-laced synth progressions ("Jade").

2020’s Boards EP ventures even further into the ether, piling on the sort of polychromatic chords, artful hooks, and mood-altering melodies one might find on an old Air or Durutti Column album.

Cale’s recent solo efforts can be found on a variety of boutique electronic labels worldwide, with new releases lined up for 2022 & 2023.
