In later years\, her music took on elements of light psychedelia and chamber pop\, especially on 2014’s highly touted standout Pink City (shortlisted for the Polaris Prize for best album made in Canada). Castle introduced a fuller sound with country accents on 2018’s Angels of Death\, then shifted gears into a spare\, psychedelic folk-inspired approach for 2020’s Monarch Season. Her new album Camelot furthers her ambitious explorations into indie country folk\, and received a massive 8 score from the influential Pitchfork. The first single Blowing Kisses was featured prominently in season three of the hit show The Bear. Jennifer will be touring with Destroyer this fall\, in preparation she is playing a series of intimate BC concerts. Jennifer has been called ‘a national treasure” by multiple publications\, the Comox Valley is in for a rare treat Saturday August 2.https://paradiseofbachelors.com/jennifer-castle/https://www.jennifercastlemusic.com/https://www.facebook.com/jennifercastlemusichttps://www.instagram.com/jnfrcastle/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoaUJrAwmhFyWM9lV1j1eZw\n\nAMY MULOIN AND THE ALLEY FLOWERS“Amy Muloin will make you want to quit your job and sing songs around campfires full time. Her soaring vocals and groovy rhythm guitar take you on adventures through creativity\, love\, and the pursuit of passion.” Amy Muloin and the Alley Flowers will be hustling directly from their show at the Filberg Festival to play a completely different and more adventurous set at the CV Curling Centre in support of Jennifer Castle.https://amymuloin.com/musichttps://www.instagram.com/amymuloin/https://amymuloin.bandcamp.com/track/underground-rough-mixhttps://www.facebook.com/CommonFolkAmyMuloinhttps://www.youtube.com/@amymuloinmusic\n\nPRANATRICKSPranatricks is an Indie-Psych-Folk artist and multi-instrumentalist/producer now calling Cumberland home.
