CASTLEBEAT is the indie dream pop project of Josh Hwang, who has announced the release of his latest album CASTLEBEAT II, set for release on June 26th, 2026 via Spirit Goth Records.
He has recently returned with the album’s second single “My Love”, described as a “late-night heartbreak anthem.” The track wonderfully blurs the sonic worlds of post punk, new wave and synth dream pop with a distinct 80s edge that feels like a blend of acts like New Order, The Drums, Beach Fossils and Craft Spells. There’s a dark melancholic quality to it that melds perfectly to the vibrant hopeful spirit of the track at the same time.
Detailing the track, Hwang adds:
“‘My Love’ reads like fragments from a diary and a photo you can’t stop revisiting, while the chorus hits with a quiet crash: ‘I hit the floor and it’s breaking my heart.’ Minimal, hypnotic dream-pop with a repeatable hook designed for late-night listening, breakup playlists, and introspective indie pop.”
Enjoy a listen to “My Love” now below.
