(The) Tony Castles: Pirates
(The) Tony Castles may be the next hype craze out of Brooklyn. Or they might not. Regardless of where the indie rabbit hole takes them, the fourpiece have a sound that is worth a listen. Check out epic-length single “Pirates,” which combines synthy dream pop with jazzy, minimalist guitar shudders and squeels. You can’t understand the lead vocalist because of (you probably guessed it) a generous wash of reverb. Yeah, (The) Tony Castles share a few things in common with the current “Brooklyn sound” (distorted, retro, “experimental”) but that doesn’t necessarily mean their sound isn’t good. I for one am excited to hear more.
