New Single from Outer Spaces

"Heavy Stone Poem"

Baltimore's Outer Spaces recently announced their first full-length, A Shedding Snake, which is due May 27th on Don Giovanni Records. Today, the band released single "Heavy Stone Poem" and announced a tour that will bring them to Brooklyn's Shea Stadium on July 3rd and to Asbury Park's Convention Hall as part of the New Alternative Music Festival from September 16th through 18th.

I've found myself drawn to things twangy and jangly lately, and "Heavy Stone Poem" plays right into that for me. The song recalls some of the 1980s, Velvet Underground-inspired sounds of bands like REM or The Feelies, while Cara Beth Satalino's vocals take things somewhere a little more melodic, lush, and countrified than those influences.

Check out the song and tour dates below, and add Outer Spaces to your list of must-see acts for the NAMF in September.
