One of the albums getting steady spins around Stereogum HQ these days is The Asteroid #4′s fourth release An Amazing Dream. The Philadelphia-based rockers have covered vast stylistic terrain over the course of their records, but this one refines the psychadelic space-rock formula to great results; Dream shows that, over a decade in, they’re just getting started. Songs like “Shoot Out The Stars” mix spare and tuneful country-folk with underwater-bunker guitars, while “Here We Go” is a big ol’ dose of Brian Jonestown psych-bombast, with the requisite curling guitar bends and dousing of reverb. We’re also in love with the half-time swagger-and-yearn of record-closer “Belong.” Here’s the premiere of another great album cut:
The band is letting you have a few more, so if you dig, get busy downloading!

too bad the lead singer is a douche.
And he can’t really carry a tune, either. Music’s great, tho.
suede sounds upset…this record is simply great!
Asteroid #4 is fucking amazing! I’ve been a huge fan since their first album and their latest is high on my Top Ten list of 2006.
These guys are all great guys, and An Amazing Dream is simply a fantastic record. Can’t wait to see what they do next!
