I recently read a comment about Microcastle and the guy said that it sounds like a dream. I think that’s the perfect way to describe my intuitive awareness.
You could say that this is more of an ambient sounding record, drowning in 60’s pop and garage influences. But even though the songs are pretty great on their own with the speakers turned up, it’s probably better as one whole experience.
With Bradford Cox’s dreamy vocals and atmospheric sound, the music flows nicely through quieter more hypnotic moments to grungy smashing guitars fading into outer space at the end.
Everything featured on Josdigital is highly recommended, but this deserves a special place and most definitely will be included in my ‘top albums of the year’ list.
Highlights are Little Kids, Microcastle and Twilight at Carbon Lake.
