A member of the new millennium's flock of psychedelic folk revivalists, L.A.'s Nick Castro surrounds himself with a changing lineup of musicians for each expansive, eccentric outing, although he started out practically solo on his debut, A Spy in the House of God. As Castro's backing band has changed, so too has his sound grown and matured. His most finely tuned, fully realized ensemble, <a href="spotify:artist:27afvtYeVaDByqno7z6o6r">the Young Elders</a>, with which he made 2006's gorgeous Come into Our House, consists of members from an array of relevant experimental acts, including <a href="spotify:artist:7e3EITqBmSTDzZQpyOo4RQ">Cul de Sac</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7vF3DcPluq6lZI36VniagW">Current 93</a>. Castro's style draws from an internationally broad spectrum of music, and as a result his sound is an amalgamation of '60s British folk, Appalachian balladry, acid rock, and classic Middle Eastern music. No doubt the many talented multi-instrumentalists he works with help make this melting pot of influences successful; the music feels as deeply poignant and personal as it is universal and far-reaching. Nick Castro excels at serene expression, flawlessly crafting songs and psychedelic jams wrought with tradition and introspective, relaxed beauty. ~ Ben Peterson, Rovi
