Indie rock group Outer Spaces features the reflective, electric guitar-based songwriting of Cara Beth Satalino. Citing R.E.M.'s Murmur as an influence, the project's first album, A Shedding Snake, saw release in 2016.
A native of rural upstate New York, Satalino majored in studio composition at Purchase College. She self-released an EP under her own name in 2008 titled The Good Ones, which saw a vinyl release three years later by Bakery Outlet and Salinas Records. Meanwhile, her short-lived band Witches put out the album Forever in 2011, also with Bakery Outlet. The first Outer Spaces release, the Creature of Nature EP, was recorded in the songwriter's then-base of Athens, Georgia, and released in 2013. Later that year, Matador Records included the band in its Singles Going Home "single-of-the-month" series, issuing "I Was Divided/Eternally Fifteen" on 7" vinyl. With producer Chester Gwazda (Future Islands, Dan Deacon) recording and playing bass and keys, and Ben Salie (the Pinecones) on drums, the EP Garbage Beach followed in 2014 via Salinas and Stupid Bag Records.
By then based in Baltimore, Maryland, Outer Spaces' full-length debut, A Shedding Snake, arrived via Don Giovanni Records in 2016. It was produced by Gwazda. After signing with Western Vinyl, Outer Spaces returned in 2019 with Gazing Globe. ~ Marcy Donelson
