FADER PREMIERE

Couple months back, we brought you a covers comp by self-described "aspiring label" Odd Castles—it featured lots of office favs from the Orchid Tapes showcase circuit, bedroom-something-pop-something and beyond: Alex G, R.L. Kelly, Emily Reo and Yohuna. Nothing's confirmed yet for Odd Castles' next release, but the fact that they're bringing us a new cover today, of Animal Collective’s Strawberry Jam jam “Fireworks” by Montreal's Holobody, suggests maybe it's time to replace "aspiring" with "hot new." (I Freudian slippily typed "hot teen" first lol, I don't knowwww…) Love when the snare rolls and everything picks up at the halfway point, like a protracted soap bubble popping.
