Episode Details

Josh Hwang is back with CASTLEBEAT II, a lo-fi indie pop masterpiece that revisits the hazy, cassette-warm vibes of his debut — but with sharper production and emotional depth. Released June 26, 2026, on Spirit Goth Records, the album’s ten tracks blend jangly guitars, mellow synths, and gentle rhythms, anchored by standout moments like the bright “This Takes Time” and the soulful “Awake.” Hwang intentionally stripped back his sonic palette to match his early sound, now refined with years of growth — a nostalgic yet fresh journey through his musical roots.
