Sound — and its organized, grooveable offspring, music – relies on air molecules for its transmission to your eager ears. Sound’s need for atmosphere is hardly a limitation for the Asteroid No. 4. The A4 deal in the electromagentic waves of shoegaze and solar flares. Last Friday, September 27, 2024 marked the launch of the Asteroid No. 4 latest full-length release, “Several Shapes of Solar Flares”, availbale for purchase on Bandcamp. Dig it here, people: https://theasteroidno4.com/pages/about Aptly titled, the new LP, “Several Shapes of Solar Flares” is both musical and celestial. “Several Shapes of Solar Flares”…
