VIDEO PREMIERE | Castlebeat, "Worries"

Standing in the stream of the natural realm with Castlebeat; video still from “Worries”.

Checking in with Spirit Goth imprint operator Josh Hwang of Castlebeat — we present news of the new album Melodrama with a look and listen to the ultra relatable song to help assuage the anxiety of our times with “Worries”. The Irvine, California based artist's latest cycle of sentimentality meets the mastering of Josh Bonati that encapsulates an organic earnestness of acceptance, hazy meditations, intimate exchanges, dialogues and cadences that speak to our most vulnerable corners and quarters of the soul. Josh brings loving songs to quell the storms of our minds and hearts during an era that is without an immediate comparative parallel.

"Worries' crosses past the dusty highways, painted rocks, dandelion dotted paths, across fields, lakes and trickling streams. Under the auspices of majestic mountaintops; Josh finds his guitar in a pine tree and takes his heartfelt reflections to the comforts of tributaries and creeks in the blissful sanctuary of nature. The setting of branches, leaves, weeds, rocks, hillsides and towering conifers provides the perfect locale for Hwang’s sincerity, serenity and sweetness to take life and take flight. The beautiful surroundings compounds the aesthetic of expressive care and compassion that resonates in a genuine gesture of heartfelt balladry and an endearing and ineffable aesthetic of affection.

The nature-based music video is meant to reflect the messages in the song; not to take life too seriously and that things get better in the end.

Castlebeat’s new release Melodrama will be available TBD via Spirit Goth.
