Northern Songs by Asteroid No. 4, released 6 September 2024.
This version of Northern Songs comes as a 1xLP. -
Northern Songs is the band's tenth full length record, following up the Collide LP in 2018. Here, the 12-string folk-rock jangle of the mid-60's Byrds is overlaid with the washed-out vocal harmonies of Ride and topped off with psychedelic drones familiar to Spacemen 3. This is a hypnotic hybrid of several different genres filtered through the kaleidoscope of all things psychedelic. Considered stalwarts of the modern 'psych' genre, they are known for their prolific discography of reverb-drenched recordings and liquid-projected live performances. With a sound all their own and neo-psychedelic / shoegaze learnings, they are often compared to acts like Spacemen 3 and Paisley Underground kingpins The Rain Parade. This LP is pressed on 140 gram Translucent Orange vinyl with a download card and packaged with a gatefold sleeve.
Gatefold sleeve.
Recorded & mixed by E. Harms and The Asteroid No. 4 during autumn 2019/winter 2020 in San Rafael, California.
