Asteroid No. 4
Under My Umbrella/house Of The Seventh Moon
Formed in Philadelphia and now based in Northern California, The Asteroid No. 4 have been melting minds since the late
'90s, with a prolific discography of reverb-drenched recordings that span the sonic spectrum. Influenced by the finest
psychedelic bands of every era, from The Beatles to The Rain Parade to Spacemen 3, the group has a unique sound that
expands exponentially under the liquid light projections of their fabled live performances. A bespoke slice of stellar
psych pop crafted especially for Hypnotic Bridge, 'Under My Umbrella' finds The Asteroid No. 4 time-tripping back to the
heyday of psychedelia's first wave. With prerequisite ADT vocal recording, Leslie speakers, Mellotron, harpsichord and
backward guitars, the band pays homage to revered masters such as Tomorrow, The Beatles, The Bee Gees, Donavon, The
Hollies (and many more), embracing the atmosphere of London circa 1967 so succinctly that many listeners assume the song
is a long-lost classic of the era. 'House Of The Seventh Moon' takes a more organic approach, enveloping listeners with
echoes of The Moody Blues, Grapefruit, Orange Bicycle, early Hawkwind and legendary Bay Area bands that shaped the
soundscape of The Asteroid No. 4's current home. Which is appropriate, as the rich Victorian vernacular of San Francisco
and the idyllic countryside of Northern California inspired not only the songs on this single, but also the
complementary artwork by one of the band's favorite artists, Andrew McGranahan, who employed vintage imagery enhanced
with a thoroughly modern color palate.
