Unfortunately it  missing me time to write about , or maybe this be a blessing for you , although always you can go directly down below to  download without need reading my rant.

My feeling is that since  90s we have   a flood of new bands of psychedelic music, and many of the most innovative groups seem to be in the United States.

 Without going too far,  these guys from Philadelphia  comes with  the banner psychedelic in the highest since 1995,  year they released their first single , staying seriously committed to this work, to the point of having taken the time out of their personal lives to hand-build their own home studio,  a do-it-yourself effort that has continued until  began their own indie label called  Lounge Records  for releasing both their own work, as well as other similar artists in the Philly area.

I´m talking about Asteroid # 4, from who I shared your efforts last year,  so that can back  to enjoy  of  extra effort that  this band put  on their  neo-psychedelia. masterpieces .  

Well, as luck would have it few  days ago , when  I had already planned to post Monterey and some records that  buyed last week  , Adriana my friend talked me about  Philadelphia’s Asteroid #4 , so I couldn’t resist the opportunity to check out  all their   recordings . After only a single spin for their site I was immediately impressed with the  wee gem  which was released back in July, but  that hasn’t received the attention that one would expect from such a so  fine collaboration as Peter Daltrey and Asteroid 4.,  since they  provide ideal  accompaniment  for  Peter Daltrey’s former  voice Kaleidoscope.

Surely if you like psychedelic music inspired by ‘British bands of the 60 `s that go a little beyond the superficial   these albums will  like from the first song..  Me, at less,  was immediately impressed with the variety of styles offered , so I hope you  just stand , nodding to the  beat Asteroid , staring into the colors on their musical kaleidoscope amidst a psychedelic backdrop,  with approval…
