    There was a swaggering majesty to Asteroid B612 at their best and this single by the current Australian-Spanish configuration goes a long way towards recapturing it. Singer Grant “Bullett” McIver gets a decent shake in the mix these days, and the guitars of John Spittles and Xabi Garre crackle and spark off each other.

    Hanging feedback announces “Fallen Slow”, a mid-tempo McIver-Spittles co-write that emphatically trudges its way into your consciousness. Another slice of sustained guitar hangs in the air before a middle eight and there’s some more six-string interplay to take us out.  The B side is a killer take on the Vanda and Young classic that revels in one of McIver’s best vocals ever. handclaps and layers of guitar. The band nails that change just right and we’re off to the races.

    Stream it, grab it digitally at Johnny’s Bandcamp where you can also grab the vinyl. Redeye in Sydney also has physical copies if you're in  Australia.
