Five tunes from one of the best bands that exists today certainly isn’t enough, but Castle Black make the most of this quick listen as they find a unique spot between grunge, punk and New Wave. Each song here highlights something different about their extensive talent, from atmosphere and rhythm to driving, charged, melodic intensity and even a ballad of sorts with bursts of abrupt fury. Imagine an updated, more refined version of Babes In Toyland who grew up on The Jesus And Mary Chain’s Psychocandy and you’ll get some idea of how imperative these Brooklynite’s work is.
