Artist Castle Thunder

The subdued tinkering of Castle Thunder doesn’t sound like the roar and tumble of thunder itself, but the gentle ring of its after-echoes. With only a single song from the upcoming Wolf In Sheepskin EP to their names, the members of Castle Thunder have already proven themselves the masters of the mellow through a surprising euphony of acoustic, electric, and percussive sounds. But quiet isn’t all the band’s capable of—the terrific “The Observer” begins with slow, wandering chimes before building and tumbling its way into a catchy pop tune highlighted by an enchanting chorus guaranteed to keep an audience’s ears fixated.
