The new project of late Sublime frontman Bradley Nowell’s son Jakob Nowell, Jakobs Castle is the sound of two worlds colliding in perfect union. The Castle aims to connect the insouciant sounds of California’s past with the fresh mystery of internet underground culture. Imagine laying face up on the beach as waves of retro synth melodies wash over you like static, your body slowly dried by the heat of the emerging sun and skank guitars. Jakobs Castle is old meets new. Beach meets internet. 90’s Underground meets Hyperpop. It is a sound that is both pretty and gritty.
