Track Of The Day: The Asteroid #4 - 'The Windmill Of The Autumn Sky'

As someone with a respectable knowledge of alternative music, it's surprising that it's taken 16 years for me to discover the California-based outfit The Asteroid #4, and it's also likely that many reading this article won't have experienced their music yet.

So it's a good job that their new self titled album (out tomorrow) has found their way onto my radar, since it is something of a treat. Their eighth full length since their formation back in 1998 is a diverse record that's linked together by a psychedelic thread, taking various genres to far out territories. A major highlight arrives with the solemnly majestic beauty of 'The Windmill Of The Autumn Sky', a lovely helping of Americana flavoured dreampop that exudes a harmonious warmth and a compellingly heartfelt elegance. The song will be released digitally as one half of a double A side single (along with 'Back Of Your Mind') next week on September 29. Read RW/FF's full review of this great album HERE.

Before that, the band have live dates coming up over the next week. Details below...
