Magic Castles are well-versed in the ways of psychedelically-inclined folk-rock. Edmonds’ smooth vocal harmonies float above the guitars, creating a lush, almost Byrds-esque soundscape. The layered arrangements incorporate Farfisa organ, synths, and dreamy string arrangements. Sun Reign is the band’s fourth release on Anton Newcombe's label ‘A’ Recordings Ltd. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIronically similar to BJM, the Magic Castles have been plagued by lineup changes over the years. Due to this and other factors, in 2016, Edmonds, a single father, decided to take a short hiatus from regular live shows and touring to focus on his family. During that time, (2016-2019) Edmonds, an introverted multi-instrumentalist, continued to record new material in his studio, and also record with a new band at Neil Weir’s studio Blue Bell Knoll, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The results of these sessions are the current release, \u003ci\u003eSun Reign\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A Recordings","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50501576491339,"sku":"1117711","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50501576819019,"sku":"1117710","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/6dd0a306-0b91-4682-be19-33a9dfbfcddc_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727785350","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/sun-reign","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
