Originally intended for release in February as part of the launch for British Label Big Scary Monsters’ US arm, Castevet’s “The Echo & the Light” is finally seeing the light of day via Tiny Engines Records (Tigers Jaw, Look Mexico, and Everyone Everywhere).
The Tiny Engines version sees the original 6 track ep being not only re recorded but also expanded to 8 tracks via 2 brand new songs and for the collectors out there, the record is being offered in 2 flavours. 200 copies on 180 gram black vinyl and 300 copies on white, whilst for those in the East, Japanese Label Stiffslack Records is issuing a cd version of the release.
Pre-orders for the record can be found here, whilst over on the band’s Myspace they’re streaming 2 of the re recorded tracks plus one of the new songs.
The records are expected to ship in late May, and as soon as I’m back from Primavera, I’ll be placing my order!

I really enjoyed the original version of the ep but I felt that the production let it down somewhat so hopefully the re recordings will do the songs more justice.

Apologies for the pun.
