Following on from their own solo and band releases – not to mention a life time playing together - The Castell Brothers finally combine artistic forces to release their first full length digital album chock full of beautiful songs, driving alt rock-pop, haunting lo-fi melody and vocal harmonies topped off by pristine production that is certain to rouse the heart and prickle the backs of many a neck.
This is an album where a fantastic brotherly connection generates a work full of great classic heartfelt song-writing. It is a knowingly organic, a melodic mix full of brotherly harmonies with an ‘alt’ sensibility – think Finn brothers fused with Damien Rice. The album was engineered / co-produced by Kev Poree (Radiohead, Charlotte Gordon Cumming) in London, and mastered by Ron Boustead (Prince, Rolling Stones, Seal, Kiss, R.E.M., Johnny Cash, Aerosmith, Beck) in L.A.
Written over 5 years and recorded in a variety of different locations, The Castell Brothers takes the listener on a journey through driving indie rock (Black Dog, In Your Arms, Picture Of Innocence) beautiful string-backed orchestral odysseys (Charcoal, 43 Steps, Nicole), classic radio friendly pop (Naive Heart, Fly Away, Sunny Shores), and piano-filled heart-rending love ballads (Valentine, You Think My Love Has Gone Away, Words…). Everything is glued lovingly together by impassioned vocals and keen lyricism, and the brothers’ love of a great song that transcends scene.
