Tiny Engines is pleased to announce that it will release The Echo & The Light, the newest eight-song LP from Chicago’s Castevet.
The album, which will be released on 12″ vinyl and digital formats on June 29, 2010, is now up for pre-order from the label.
Originally available as an ultra-limited six-song CDEP / tape for Castevet’s 09 Winter tour with Grown Ups, the six tracks – plus two brand new offerings – have been re-recorded and will be pressed by Tiny Engines on 180 gram black (200) and white (300) vinyl. Stiffslack Records will also be releasing a CD version of The Echo & The Light exclusive to Japan. To secure a copy of this awesome record, go here.
The band is currently streaming three songs from the LP on its Myspace page, including the never-heard-before “Six Parts Summer” and re-recorded versions of “Narrow Hallways” and “Midwest Values.”
Picking up where the Castevet’s acclaimed full-length, Summer Fences, left off, The Echo & The Light doesn’t miss a beat, honing in on the band’s most positive attributes. Leaning less on the sweeping atmospherics and lush soundscapes of its debut, the Chicago quartet kicks up the distortion and fuzz pedals that lace kinetic, intertwining guitars while placing a greater emphasis on gritty vocals and concise songs that wind tightly around propulsive, math-tinged instrumental passages. If Summer Fences was the result of a Castevet experimenting with an abundance of great ideas, The Echo & The Light is the band only using the very best of those.
