After the 2018 eponymous debut album that enchanted the lovers of shoegaze, desert rock and britpop, Vast Asteroid are back with a new single, released through ThinkBabyMusic from Athens, Greece during the chaotic Summer of 2020. Tracked during a beautiful and torrential storm on a magical week at the legendary Rancho de la Luna studios in Joshua Tree, CA by producer/engineer Andy Freeman, and highlighted by the likes of Dave Catching (Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles Of Death Metal) as a special guest, Vast Asteroid new single “Champagne Ambassadors” confirms everything good that impressed us in their debut: an impressive wall of sound, a massive rhythmic section and catchy melodies that sticks in the listener’s head. Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, Vast Asteroid is made up of former The Warlocks bassist Mimi Star, seminal UK punk-rock band Slaughter And The Dogs drummer Mark Reback, and singer and guitarist James Poulos.
After previously playing together in various configurations, the members coalesced around a shared love of the immersive, propulsive and passionate music of shoegaze, space rock, desert rock, art grunge, and britpop. They also gave a name to this unique blend they together give shape to: spacegaze.
And you can tell, hearing the cosmic afflatus that permeates their rock-hard wall of fuzz. Their music is a glance at the night sky from the desert, and its otherworldly yet hauntingly familiar epic instantly blows your mind and soothes your soul.
