Asteroid No. 4
Tones Of The Sparrow
From the cosmic riffage of album opener Emma, to the chugging, psychedelic noise rumblings of album title track Tones of the Sparrow and shimmering new single Set You Sights, The Asteroid No.4 tap into a sound that sound-tracked their youth. "The last two years have not been easy for any of us, so to go back to the specific sound that connects us to a better, easier moment in life seems like a pretty normal thing to do at times like this. For us, a band that started in the 90s and who were teenagers at the height of the time of the shoegaze scene, that's what our roots are." Elsewhere, theres a dark, intense aesthetic to the melancholic Chameleon while I'm Not The Enemy and A Castle Built For Two meld '60s psychedelia and catchy dreampop before the deeply melodic Somewhere in the Middle and ethereal Transmission close an impressive collection of songs from one of the psych scenes best loved bands.
