The Aesthetic Union presents The Asteroid Party: A Release Party for The Asteroid Project

The Aesthetic Union, a letterpress print shop and gallery in San Francisco, presents a night of live music and astronomical reverie in celebration of May Oskan’s innovative new concept album and art book The Asteroid Project. The party will take place in the print shop and feature musical performances by electrifying jazz trio Acme Anvil Drop and psych-pop outfit Real Real Talk. A limited edition commemorative poster printed on The Aesthetic Union’s Heidelberg cylinder press will be available to party attendees. Admission is free and refreshments will be served.

A testament to the power of collaborative imagination, The Asteroid Project showcases the visions of ten illustrators from around the country. With visual interpretations ranging from popular comics to abstract collage, the book adds compelling dimension to the inventively composed art-rock LP, itself a collaboration between a half dozen musical instrumentalists, arrangers, and engineers. The result of these efforts is May Oskan’s sophomore release and first studio album, following in step behind beloved rock musical The Ape Woman.

Copies of The Asteroid Project will be available at the event in a limited first edition of 100, so get there early and enjoy the wonders of space, live music, and collective creativity.
