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 and 2023.
