Always pay attention to any band that covers a Rain Parade song and collaborates with a member of Kaleidoscope (the UK one). The Asteroid #4 do a splendid version of those Paisley Underground giants' "I Look Around," which displays AN4's penchant for sublime melodies and gorgeously layered vocals. Over the last 24 years, this group has traipsed through the gentler and more pastorally spaced-out end of the psychedelia spectrum, building an impressive discography. They may have peaked on 1997's soaring, sitar-laced "What a Sorry Way to Go," but AN4 continue to produce sumptuous, melodious psych-rock on 2018's Collide. by Dave Segal
