....Songs of the Forest

Jan 28, 7:00am Wine, Women And Song

With "Songs of the Forest," Minneapolis' own Magic Castles introduces its engrossing, psychedelic assemblage of pop and experimental music.

Magic Castles

Dec 18, 2009, 6:01am Don't Die Wondering.

Magic Castles Here's one of them old-timer ones, the ones we tend to play when nearing the disastrous end of drunkenness, secretly or not so secretly loving best. Great band, Magic Castles, seriously. Top tunes, great, rugged playing, lots of soul - maybe get some keys in there to soften the edges though, a co-write or two with that dude who did that track for Meredith Brooks, stick some brash, quick-quipping, pretty yet retaining that small-town familiarity girl singer, who sings songs with titles that refer [...]

Nov 9, 2009, 9:35am The Decibel Tolls

I know what you're thinking, another "castles" band, but these guys cut out the middleman of silicon chips and 404's and tap directly into the jam spell-book. Magic Castles were assembled in Minneapolis, MN, at the end of 2006 by songwriter Jason Edmonds. Incorporating aspects of blues, classic psych, experimental, and folk, they have since become a fixture their local scene, playing intimate shows at bonfires, farms, and music shoppes. Fast forward one year and these boys have crafted six new songs for their new album on Moon Glyph Tapes. Recorded "between the witching hour and [...]
