‘Sick Millenia’ is a fistful of rock reinvention from Seattle’s power-rock pressure, Asterhouse. Their knack for uneven, angular staccato riffs is matched solely by the irresistible spark of the crystalline vocals, which slip throughout the frenetic pulses with a potent sense of urgency. Whereas the Arcade Fireplace-esque synths preserve the monitor firmly within the up to date sphere, there’s an simple nod to the glory days of Emerald Metropolis punk that expenses the tune with adrenalized depth.
Asterhouse lately showcased their skills by a residency at Local weather Pledge Area and a seminal KEXP in-studio session, constructing on their custom of unleashing ethereal rhythmic energy at iconic venues comparable to The Neptune Theatre, The Showbox, Neumos, The Crocodile, and Chop Suey.
This new single proves that the band aren’t merely documenting the malaise of contemporary life; they’re providing an efficacious salve by a hearty dose of full-throttle instrumentation and a whirlwind of hooks that tear past the rhythmic pulses and straight into the soul.
Sick Millenia is now obtainable to stream on all main platforms, together with Spotify.
