Artist- Tony Castles
Album- No Service EP
Label- Famous Class
This debut EP sounds like Wavves meets chillwave with a Caribbean influence – they’ve toured with Fool’s Gold for a comparison band. Energetic male vocals (a bit like Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend) and heavy bass riffs meets dancehall influences. “New Brain” recalls the fun Afro-pop of the Dirty Projectors, while “Adequate Sheen” has some nice hazy synthesizers. I dig this type of African-influenced jangly guitar stuff, and I’m glad that Tony Castles goes beyond the typical Vamp Weekend-ripoff and creates their own sound – one informed by chillwave as much as it is Public Image Ltd.
