THE ASTEROID NO.4 – “SET YOUR SIGHTS”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE
Stalwarts of the modern ‘psych’ scene, California-based psychedelic-rock legends The Asteroid No.4 are set to release new album ‘Tones of the Sparrow on the 25th March 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.
Ahead of the album release, SPILL Magazine are pleased to premiere the video for the band’s mesmeric new single “Set Your Sights”, the first single to be taken from the forthcoming album.
Releasing their debut album Introducing in 1997, Tones of the Sparrow will be The Asteroid No.4’s eleventh studio album and comes 25 years after the release of their debut. Known for their rich, multi-textured guitars, reverb-drenched vocal harmonies and unwavering rhythm section, the band have built a loyal, dedicated fanbase and with well over a dozen compilation appearances, digital-only rarity releases, and multiple singles and EPs, The Asteroid No.4 put their longevity down to friendship. “It’s been so long now, that it seems as natural as family. We’re all very close, so we’re in a situation where being in this band happens to also be doing something creative with our very best friends. We’re all on, for the first time in a long time, the same level on what we want the band to sound like and truly admire what everyone else’s part is.”
ARTIST QUOTE
“All of the new songs were written starting in late ’20 and into the spring of ’21 so they reflect the many emotional ups and downs experienced at that time. ‘Set Your Sights’ takes on a more cautiously optimistic view of looking forward and as the title suggests, seeks to consider what’s ahead rather than the hopelessness of the now.”
