Castle Face

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.

When L.A. Takedown hovers over one’s ear hairs for the first time, so much is communicated without a word - there are patient, capable hands at the wheel as one phantoms through a neon Los Angeles of the mind, a Los Angeles that only three harmonized electric guitars can conjure, with a sunset so infinitely variegated in colour that only synthetic washes of synth could serve as a fainting couch. Studio magic dust seems to drip off these android dreams projected against the wall—in person it defies logic that such a sound is coming from humans, but, watching their hands, it’s unmistakable—these are calm warriors sallying forth these sweeping, swooning epics, crowned with triumphant tripartite thunderbolts of wail. For a few fleeting moments, things seem right with the world; a hero has prevailed, the race was won by a hair, the unmanned drones levitate and strafe the coast, rending the coral sky with a psychic boom, shaking loose a few palm fronds and setting off some car alarms but otherwise leaving the sprawl unchanged and teeming. While produced and performed by Aaron M. Olson, Our Feeling Of Natural High was engineered and mixed to glossy perfection by Jason Quever and it benefits greatly from the seamless contributions of John Herndon, Jason Quever, Marcus Savino, Miles Wintner, Mose Wintner, Nicholas Krgovich and The Musical Tracing Ensemble. We’re even treated to a city-hum lullaby to humanity as a nightcap, with Nedelle Torrisi and Yellow Magic Orchestra’s Yukihiro Takahashi on vocals, truly a mint on the pillow of this fantastic soundscape. For fans of Michael Rother, Top Gun, later Tangerine Dream, convertibles and long walks on the beach.
