  • Bio

    Originating as a genus of freshwater diatoms susceptible to chytridiomycota infestations, Asterionella has evolved over the millennia, presently taking the form of a shoegazing space rock band from Las Vegas. With influences as disparate as UK Madchester bands and modern noise-rock and pop outfits, Asterionella creates a sound that melds swirling melodies with post-rock arrangements, all of which is layered with a warm, ambient veneer reminiscent of the 90s shoegaze movement. And as the diatom from which it takes its name is composed of cells joined at the apex by mucilage pads to form spiral colonies, the four seasoned musicians comprising Asterionella are joined by a common passion for crafting intelligent & challenging, yet catchy music that invigorates the soul, captures the imagination, or at the very least never bores.
