We thank On Stage Magazine for their wonderful review!
Casa Del Sol, the San Francisco-based psych-rock quartet, is proud to announce the release of their debut album, Strange Angels, available now on all streaming platforms. The album is a 1960s- and 70s-inspired cinematic journey blending psychedelia, soul, rock, blues, and jazz, paired with socially-conscious themes and soaring improvisation. Designed to shed light in dark times, Strange Angels offers a poignant and immersive experience that recalls the golden era when music was religion, and listening to records was a sacred event.
Strange Angels follows the release of the band’s recent single, “You Make Me So High” and its accompanying video, and builds on the band’s unique sound and vision. It’s a “turn on, tune in, drop out” album-oriented offering meant to be experienced in one sitting. Songs like the psych-folk standout “Love In a Time of War” showcase the band’s ability to blend deeply personal storytelling with cinematic musicality. Lavished with Modell’s sweetly weary vocals, rock n’ roll gospel organ, passages of lyrical lead guitar, and nuanced rhythm section interplay, the track reflects on the birth of Modell’s first son while delivering lyrics that resonate with themes of finding beauty in a painful world.
