Ups & Downs, Twists & Turns…That is an appropriate way to describe the path traveled by the Asteroid #4 since the latter half of the Clinton years. ABOUT THE ASTEROID #4 |
Unfortunately it missing me time to write on weekends, or maybe this be a blessing for you , although always you can go directly down below to download without need reading my rant, so sometimes, when I repost some bands, I use mix some quotes amidst of earlier reviews . For other hand , when it can do , I try re-upload all about them, I ´m also to hunting of releases on the blogosphere and I know that after time some links die or on premium convert, it added to, you, surely as me , when we find some sound that we like, we can’t resist the opportunity to check out all their recordings .
Well, from Dock Ellis’s stylish new sister label, drops yet another outsider disco gem into our laps, with a stunning new 12″ from psych-bluesy Philly crew Asteroid # 4 around five months later as her equally impressive collaboration with Peter Daltrey called The Journey.
The Windmill of the Autumn Sky at seem takes Journeys’s cloudy ghost-ballads, and gently nudges them into a more psych-driven direction. Asteroid’s bluesy is more present than ever, and her harmonies come heavily layered, floating above the wash of psych-synths like hundreds of bubbles, all flowing in different directions.
These guys 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.
Her canvas is a vast and sprawling one, where they lays down their jams, the swirls of ethereal analog grooves and swirling acoustic washing all flow in a hypnotic hybrid of several different genres.
Hop on over to the A # 4 site, and check out the “music & merch ” section for all their releases.
And check out their amazing The Journey beside P. Daltrey there , as well.

Nice! Thanks for these Pepe! 🙂
Thanks, I was missing that Peter Daltrey collaboration. BTW, I think Asteroid No. 4’s new EP is among the best work they’ve ever done. At times it’s like what I’d imagine it would sound like if mid-90’s Oasis had decided to do an acoustic/folk album, only way more tripped-out.
