The Magic Castles - Sun Reign

First Time On Black vinyl. A lot has happened to the Magic Castles since this was released in April 2021 this release took over a year
to be manufactured, the band have toured with the Brian Jonestown Massacre & the Warlocks in the USA in 2022 & the the track “Lost
Dimension” was used in the HBO series “Succession” so not a bad 2022 for the band. Sun Reign is the band’s fourth release on Anton
Newcombe's label ‘A’ Recordings Ltd. Ironically similar to BJM, the Magic Castles have been plagued by lineup changes over the
years. In November of 2019, tragedy struck and Edmonds was seriously injured in a car accident that required hospitalization and
surgery. Friends started a Go Fund Me that raised over $20k USD for the uninsured musician’s hospital bills, showing an incredible
outpouring of love and support for him and his family. Fortunately, Edmonds has made a complete recovery from his injuries and has
bounced back remarkably well. In early 2020, Edmonds managed to finish the remaining work on the album “Sun Reign”, including a
previously unreleased song, “Surmise'' penned by guitarist Jermiah Doering, and a rare cover of a moody 1966 garage rock song “Ode
to the Wind” by Danny and the Counts. Edmonds also began working with a booking agency, planning a return tour to Europe with the
band to support the new album. Unfortunately, it was not to be. Due to the global pandemic crisis of Covid-19, the album was delayed
until 2021, and the promising tour was cancelled. In May of 2020, Minneapolis police killed George Floyd two blocks from Edmonds’
home, which incited riots across the country. The protests led to the burning of Minneapolis, where a long time music venue and many
other buildings were lost. Edmonds’ studio was not destroyed although many nearby buildings were. Edmonds is a known supporter of
