the psych-folk/pop inspirations of
Castanets

CD (2005)










Asthamatic Kitty Rec.     Castanets : First Light's Freeze (US,2005)***'

This is the second album from Castanets, an independent song-related release with its own post-Palace Americana descriptive blue mood. Basically the musical structures are based upon guitar or banjo but more strength is built up with additional arrangements, of ambient sound effects, bass sounds, percussion, rocking guitars and so on or partly improvisational moods. Lots of people helped here including Sufjan Stevens, Daniel Carter, and many more. A fine indie rock release.

Audio : "Into the Night","All That I Know To Have Changed In You"
