I’m going to start this out by introducing how I heard and came across to be obsessed with this band. It was late spring 2009, and through a forum post concerning Shoulder, Embassy and Split Lip. Someone recommended Castevet to me. Myspace was of course the first place I went to check them out. “Plays One on T.V.” was the first song that played and I remember exactly because at the first the vocals hit me in the face by surprise, but by the time the song had gone through to the bridge and build up, I was impatient to press repeat. I downloaded their demo from their page, and couldn’t wait for the album to come out.
Summer came, and so did summer classes for university. I met this new friend in class and we started hanging out. He told me when classes were over he would go back to his mother’s place in the north-east and work on his cottage, and invited me to come help him and spend some time out of the city. July came and the album came out. And I added it to my ipod right away. It was time to go up to the friends cottage. Only I wasn’t sure what to expect. He had warned me that it was sort of a dump and that everything was simple and down to heart, good feeling, almost hippie type of place. I had done renovation in some dumps before, but when I got there I realized that this was beyond one could expect of being a dump… This was a complete shit whole. My friend who had already been there for some weeks, was still awake at three in the afternoon, still drinking from the night before, and in an awful mood. His mom came out from her room and was a total disaster herself.
