Castle Face

British bass player, Bronze, was born on 2 April 1952 in Billericay, Essex, UK. With a career spanning several decades, Bronze has established himself as a highly respected and influential figure in the music industry. Known for his exceptional talent and unique style, he has captivated audiences worldwide with his mesmerizing performances.

Bronze's music is often compared to that of other renowned artists such as Rainbow Note, Kim Areum, Uju, Muzie, BehindtheMoon, Kirin, SFC.JGR, Risso, Nahee and En Sokum. His ability to seamlessly blend various genres and create harmonious compositions sets him apart from the rest.

Whether it's through his captivating bass lines or his soulful melodies,Bronze continues to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be an artist. With each new release,Bronze showcases his versatility and artistic growth,making him a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.

Welcome to Castle Face, a California-based music label founded by John Dwyer of Thee Oh Sees, Matt Jones, and Brian Lee Hughes. With an impressive roster of talented artists and performers, Castle Face is known for its unique blend of genres and commitment to delivering exceptional music to fans worldwide.

Since its inception, Castle Face has been at the forefront of the independent music scene, consistently releasing groundbreaking albums that push boundaries and defy expectations. From garage rock to psychedelic pop, our diverse catalog offers something for every discerning listener.

With a reputation for nurturing emerging talent and supporting established acts alike, Castle Face remains dedicated to providing a platform for artists to express their creativity freely. Our passion for music drives us to curate a collection that reflects the spirit of innovation and authenticity that defines our label.

We here at Castle Face dig a good trance. Hypnosis, mesmerisation, and brain trickery are some of our favourite results of deep listening and it is a suggestive, ritualistic and dreamlike vibe that Bronze ooze like pheromones all over their excellent new record. 

Absolute Compliance is a truly hypnogogic group of tunes from Bronze on their best and weirdest behaviour and it hits all my favourite things about them immediately and repeatedly: Insistently strange synth voicings emanating from Miles Friction's mad scientists lab worth of equipment controlled by a homemade-looking oversized knob; Brian Hock’s throbbing, woolly, hall of mirror grooves; and above it all Rob Spector’s thousand yard croon the vaguely familiar touchstone amongst the Lynchian, mutated surroundings…these are songs of dreams and nightmares, hidden rituals observed, futuristic coliseum entertainments displaced in time, sci fi jams of an uncertain future. Bronze are one-of-a kind great and if you’re unfamiliar you should go find their other records (including their great live record for us) and get caught up.

They are real-deal weirdo kings of San Francisco and their spell is not easily dissipated once cast.
