Tones Of The Sparrow
Celebrating 25 years as a band, stalwarts of the modern psych scene The Asteroid No.4 present “Tones Of The Sparrow”, their eleventh album! Heavily inspired by the UK shoegaze scene including My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Ride and early Verve, the group have never shied away from wearing their influences squarely on their sleeves. With “Tones of the Sparrow”, they edge towards the more psychedelic side of the genre. The band explains “It's all guitar rock and more specifically, it's all psychedelic rock. We have a tendency to move around within that. 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.” From the cosmic riffage of album opener “Emma”, to the chugging, psychedelic noise rumblings of the title track and “Set You Sights”, they tap into a sound that soundtracked their youth. There’s a dark, intense aesthetic to the melancholic “Chameleon” while “I'm Not The Enemy” and “A Castle Built For Two” meld 60’s psychedelia and catchy dreampop before the deeply melodic “Somewhere In The Middle” and ethereal “transmission” closes the record.
