Staff Pick of the Week

Every week we here at Repo like to pick one record that we can all agree on as being the one thing we can't stop listening to. This week's pick is.....


Asteroid #4 - Hail to the Clear Figurines
(Keep Music Evil)



Philly's Own Asteroid #4 comes at us with their sixth full length Hail to the Clear Figurines. We've loved all of their past work and this one is no exception. This record has some shoegaze elements coming across mixed with 60's psychedelic. Every song sounds like it's dipped in warm honey making for a more dreamy Asteroid album then previous ones. The vocals are sorta washed out which allows them to weave around the spacious guitars sounds. Certain parts of the album sound country influenced and makes me think of of the Fresh and Only's play it strange, an album I loved because of that sound, though Asteroid has been moving that way for awhile now. A great album by a great band.
