Castanets' video for "Tell Them Memphis" is a beautiful slowburn that pairs perfectly with the song's haunting tempo (off Decimation Blues out 8.19)!


Castanets is set to return with a brand new album, Decimation Blues, on Asthmatic Kitty later this month on the 19th. Yesterday, Stereogum debuted the video for "Tell Them Memphis" calling the song "eerie and alluring, like a stranger’s comforting hand on your shoulder." The video for it pairs beautifully with the song's glacial pace and rewards viewers who give it their full attention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3341g2INv0U

The songs on Decimation Blues represent the music of a man who’s learned to live and build among the wreckage—twelve seemingly offhand, secretly meticulous tracks that we can hunker down in. In a time when so much music seemingly sounds recycled, Raymond Raposa has crafted an incredible album of singular vision that only he could make. For copies of the album, interviews, or anything at all, don't hesitate to reach out.

Thanks for all the listening you do and have a lovely weekend!
