Tones Of The Sparrow

Stalwarts of the modern 'psych' scene, California-based psychedelic-rock legends The Asteroid No.4 release new album Tones of the Sparrow via Club AC30. Heavily inspired by the UK shoegaze scene including My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Ride and early Verve, the band takes its name from Vesta, the brightest asteroid in our solar system, and a nod to psychedelic space rock band Spacemen 3.

The Asteroid No.4 have never shied away from wearing their influences squarely on their sleeves but with Tones of the Sparrow, the band edge towards the more psychedelic side of the genre. "It's all guitar rock and more specifically, it's all psychedelic rock, and we have a tendency to move around within that. At the end of the day, we just write a batch of songs and depending on where we are in our heads, lives, etc., sometimes they vary greatly and other times there is a much stronger cohesiveness among them."
