One-sided 12" EP. Hailing from different corners of the noisier spectrum of Southern California bands (Child Pornography, Duchesses, Woman's Worth, Work, Hips, and Saboteurs), we signed them not on the strength of their pedigrees but on the bona fides of a suckerpunch live delivery and one self-released CDR.
High Castle is your older brothers' favorite band, assuming he grew up on a steady diet of '90s underground rock. They produce a viscous byproduct of the jams you grew up on dragged through a record collection's worth of sludge and muck. Once you decide to bring it, that's kinda the only way to go.
The "You're on Your Own Way" EP is the debut record for High Castle, a culmination of songs road tested on summer 2008 US tour and written post New Years hallucinations. Songs about garbage strikes, astral projection, lonely security guards, hedonism, dropping out, meditation, injustice, misplaced hearts...and more. Seven short bursts of salvation, pressing of 500, mastered by Weasel Walter. Two color silkscreened covers designed by Paul Morgan.
