This year we have already shared with you two awesome songs from California-based indie rockers Castle Pines, the memorable “Woo Hoo,” and more recently, “March Mellow.”
Today we hit back with their most recent released, the self-titled track “Castle Pines.”
this is a more somber and atmospheric affair than their two most recent releases, one that they describe as a “woeful and morose dirge-like musical ostinato that builds to a hazy fog of warmth and fond memories,” or more simply, “a sleepy opus.” The band, throughout a decade of struggle, uses its titular song to convey their story with the powers of reflection and melancholy.
The combination of the Explosions In The Sky like guitar textures and the deep vocal work of Leandro Barrientos, this track is haunting and affecting in many ways, providing a true emotional gut punch.
