I wrote about Castles earlier this year, when they had a few demos cobbled together and were nervously playing their first shows. Now they’re about to launch their debut EP and I hear their bass player has finally bought a tuning pedal, although that could just be a hopeful rumour. From little things, etc.

‘Inland Sea’ is a nice textbook example of post-rock, but it builds a bit too slowly to a climax that doesn’t quite hit the heights it should. Having said that, they’re a band worth seeing live, where they are able to create a real atmosphere around their music.

They launch their EP next Wednesday the 25th at the Troubadour in Brisbane, and are heading down to Melbourne not long after. See their MySpace for details.
