Sandcastle's defining 2012 album Wild Legend is available on Vinyl for the first time.
Sandcastle's defining 2012 album Wild Legend is available on Vinyl and streaming platforms for the first time. Sandcastle has been a staple in the underground circle for over a decade. Defined by his clever lyricism, distinct vocal style, catchy melodies, and relentlessly addictive songwriting. Sandcastle is the moniker for songwriter Sam Kassel, who records most of Sandcastle's output independently. Self-produced in south Philadelphia between 2011 and 2012. Wild Legend is Sandcastle's first attempt at creating something he viewed as 'normal' Pop music. He took inspiration from Greek tragedies, classic literature, mythology, and his time living alone in a yurt in the mountains of Arizona- without any pretension. Sam's lyrics are delivered sincerely and take on a mystical Melville-esque tone, hinting at truer meanings lying deep within the sub-text. It can take time to delve into the depths of Sam's lyrics, but the accessibility of the music helps cultivate the listener to make the effort. Standouts include the minimal bass-centered ' Vision Of The Future '', the ultra-catchy hooks of '' Skull Valley, 'and the hypnotic ' Soldier Of The Light. ' This reissue LP includes a previously unreleased bonus track, 'Different Kind Of Paradise,' which was recorded shortly after and is finally seeing the light of day. Wild Legend is the kind of album that can be enjoyed repeatedly by the cultivated listener with increasing pleasure.
