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
Black
Lives
Matter
