MP3 REVIEW: Dark Castles “s/t”

Dark Castles “s/t”

                I will certainly give Dark Castles credit for holding my attention throughout these three songs, even if the end result is less than desired.    Dark Castles has an electro funk sound that isn’t quite aligned with New Order and The Illegal Wiretaps but yet isn’t quite seapunk either.  It just tends to fall somewhere in between.  It is by no means a bad mix for the first two songs.   And then for almost a full minute at the end of the last song the beeping does not stop.    This just killed these songs- and this band- for me as no one needs to hear that (And that coming from someone who has certainly heard a lot)
