Longrunning psych band The Asteroid #4 moved from their Philadelphia hometown to the more cosmic locale of San Francisco a couple years back. The new digs seem to suit them well: the bands’s new self-titled album mixes melodicism and mysticism in equal parts. The record’s out September 23 via Bad Vibrations and we’ve got the premiere of lead cut “The River” which gently eases the listener into what’s to come via some lovely slide guitar. Stream that below.

No word on North American tour plans, but The Asteroid #4 are just about to head overseas for a string of European festivals and club dates. All those are listed, along with the new track stream, below…
