I have been in this game for so long, that I can say that I was there when the artists started to pick up their momentum, we shared the self-titled CASTLEBEAT album back in 2016:
I can’t recall writing that post, but I vividly remember stumbling upon Castlebeat for the first time. I fell in love with their music then, and my admiration has only grown stronger. While their sound has evolved to include more mainstream elements, it still retains that delightful lo-fi, surfy, dreamy vibe that initially drew me in. Their latest album is packed with captivating singles that effortlessly draw you in. It’s no surprise that this artist has garnered such a dedicated fan base, which is evident from the millions of plays their music has received. This success proves that lo-fi dream pop can indeed reach a wide audience, and we have similar talent on our roster. Some, like Beach Vacation and Swiss Portrait, have already been discovered, while others, like Ford Chastain and Porch Kiss, are waiting to be embraced by a broader audience. Regardless, Castlebeat’s music embodies the essence of summer – it’s juicy, surfy, dreamy, and whatever else you need it to be. I simply can’t get enough of it. Take the time to listen to this album, and I’m confident it will achieve the same level of popularity as their previous releases.
