Pre-Order: Castor – Moving Backgrounds

Pre-Order: Castor – Moving Backgrounds

Two albums, compiled together and on vinyl for the first time!

We’re elated to share the news that Moving Backgrounds, Castor’s complete body of work has been pressed on vinyl for the first time ever and will be coming out 08/01 on Matt Talbott’s (HUM) Earth Analog Records label with exclusive distribution from us (Polyvinyl).

Castor arrived in 1994 just as fellow Champaign-Urbana, IL, bands Hum and Braid broke through and rose to prominence. While Hum and Braid redefined their respective genres, Castor took an experimental approach to slow-core indie on their self-titled debut and eventually landed on post-shoegaze rock with the sophomore album Tracking Sounds Alone.

Spanning 22 tracks, Moving Backgrounds features re-mastered versions of both full-length albums as well as five bonus tracks on 180-Gram Clear Orange and Clear vinyl – all housed in super deluxe packaging (gatefold jacket, printed sleeves, two double-sided inserts).

This release is a truly special and fitting commemoration of a group that rubbed shoulders with some of the late-90’s most influential bands.

Alongside your deluxe 2xLP vinyl, bundle a new Castor t-shirt and/or poster design and save a bit of $$ while you’re at it.
