"'Deténte' is a brooding, twisting tune that comes packed with over 50 vocal lines. It’s a haunting, yet dreamy anthem that sees Astrologer playing with perfectly peculiar melodies."
Indie88

"Fuzzed-edged and garage-grimed, the song is saturated with furious disillusionment. It's a whirling tornado of screaming fists, the feeling of running in place before running headfirst into a wall."
Hollywood Life

"A jittery, one-chord garage pop blast provides the backdrop for Clines rambling stream of consciousness spoken word vocal rant."
Joyzine

"It’s energetic, a bit frantic, mind you don’t hurt yourself."
CLUNK

"The video accompanying the song is created by Cresta out of South America and takes on an avant-garde, colorful approach that sees the singer-songwriter singing his way through the song as a series of cool footages and clips overlap or are feature alongside."
Vents

"With material both personal and universal, disparate, and familiar, the common thread running through Astrologer’s songs is Cline’s whimsical sincerity and wonder."
Northern Transmissions

"It’s a jangly, catchy track with a deliciously retro video, created by Salvador Cresta and Candy Caballero. With effects-heavy on the VHS vapourwave trail, it bends time and disorients the viewer…what year IS this?"
Post-Punk

 
Today, Astrologer announce their sophomore EP, Legerdemain (R), due July 8 via Lolipop Records. To commemorate the announcement, they have shared the EP's first single, "Deténte," along with an accompanying video.

Speaking on the new single, the band wrote:
 
"There was magic in the air when 'Deténte' was made. I had a cyclical guitar part and a verse that I was having trouble fleshing out, but knew it felt special. When Wyatt and I began recording it, we split the song into three basic movements and worked on each part in order, which helped to create a good juxtaposition. By the time we recorded vocals with Candy, Don, and our pal Brooke from Active Decay, it was a frenzy of creation, with all of us running in and out of the studio to put what ultimately became about 50 harmony vocal tracks! The beginning of the song was bolstered by the avant-garde sound collage contributions Don made. It really took the whole song to a new level."
 
During Fall 2021, Astrologer shared their 6-track debut EP, Legerdemain (L), on Lolipop Records (produced by Wyatt Blair at Lolipop’s Savannah Studios).
