The Asteroid No. 4 - Hail to the Clear Figurines

Upon returning to the US, the Asteroid No.4 again entered the studio during the winter of 2010/2011. Perhaps it was the weather’s influence, but their new material evoked an almost darker vibe than previous material. Their sixth record, “Hail to the Clear Figurines”, once again hit the reset button on the band’s aesthetic. The songs paid special attention to detail using accents of instrumentation ranging from harps to horn sections. One could hear an almost Baroque sensibility reminiscent of 60’s bands Love, the Left Banke, the Bee Gees and UK psych legends, Kaleidoscope, which appropriately enough brings us to Peter Daltrey.
