A post-rock project 10 years in the making by Deep Elm alumnus TJ Foster (Cast Before The Break, Accents), I, SUPERNOVA's debut Asterisms, Vol. 1 spans a total of 16 isolation-inspired songs that create a score to the universe at large. Being released in two carefully orchestrated volumes each meant to be listened to from beginning to end, Asterisms is a deeply human, musical accompaniment to a flurry of questions about what's out there, what's waiting for us and our unquenchable desire to learn more.
For Foster, this is more than just an impressive, cathartic release. It's a full-circle moment. "If I'm being honest, I always hoped I'd find my way back to the iconic Deep Elm Records. That period of my career, working with Deep Elm on The Cast Before the Break, in the late 2000s, was incredibly rewarding and motivating to me as a musician. Their enthusiasm for everything they release really lit a fire in me and made me believe in myself, and I'm so elated to be back" says Foster.
At its core, "Asterisms" is the kind of music that only comes earnestly after a period of deep introspection and the glorious explosion of emotion that follows. Anyone who's studied the stars will tell you a star is always brightest after it explodes. No words required.
