The Asteroid No. 4 - These Flowers of Ours: A Treasury of Witchcraft & Devilry - Reissue LP

Upon returning from a UK tour, the band joined the Committee to Keep Music Evil, a label started in-part by Anton Newcombe of the Brian Jonestown Massacre. Now 2008, with their new label as a vehicle, the band released “These Flowers of Ours: A Treasury of Witchcraft and Devilry”. “These Flowers” was again critically acclaimed worldwide as potentially the band’s “masterpiece”. They had finally, as one review would state, “honed their sound, creating a self assured and richly textured album that transcends its influences, although echoes of The Rain Parade and Spacemen 3, can still be heard.”

Touring in support of “These Flowers” continued into 2010, with one European tour in particular beginning with a long weekend and show in Iceland. It was during these few days that the band had met visual artist, Jón Sæmundur. Coincidentally, Jón and Ryan spent the down time in Reykjavik collaborating on a song that would ultimately end up becoming the Dead Skeletons.
