Bay Area Rockers Castles In Spain Promote Sonic Agenda of Tribal Rhythms, Lush Cinematic Vibes and a Middle Eastern Exoticism on New Release 'Again'

LOS ANGELES, CA (Luck Media) - Visionary artists like Biachi, lead singer, guitarist and songwriter for the popular Bay Area based band Castles In Spain (www.castlesinspain.com), frequently have a hard time trying to describe their music to industry reps who would love nothing more than to pigeonhole them. But after three previous, critically acclaimed independent recordings - and gearing up to release the band's eagerly anticipated fourth collection, Again - she knows her art well enough to find just the right words to sum up CIS's edgy but ethereal, cool but otherworldly brand of modern rock.

"We have a unique sonic agenda, incorporating everything from tribal rhythms, cinematic and atmospheric vibes and even some Middle Eastern flavors into a style that's very soulful," says Biachi.

The San Francisco Bay Guardian describes CIS's music as: "Bombay Zeppelin. Imagine Jimmy Page and Robert Plant riding through the desert, kicking up dust and camel dung at some Cairo bazaar, where Chrissie Hynde is sitting in with Jane's Addiction, playing Black Sabbath and middle-eastern folk music."

Just as the Oceanside, California born Biachi's love for rock developed from the first drum set her father gave her at age seven, the singer comes by her swinging exoticism very naturally. Her mother was a famous professional singer, percussionist and belly dancer in her native Bombay, India, and Biachi first performed with her mom onstage when she was four. "I idolized my mother for her amazing talent." Biachi's dad was a Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton when she was born, and Biachi moved around a lot with him after her parents divorced.

"With songs like 'Gratitude Adjustment' or 'Look In Her Eyes,' I don't mean to preach, but I'm just saying I'm damn lucky to be here, alive and making the music I want to make. When I look in the mirror, I laugh at myself every day. That gives me a sense of utter joy. One of our fans told me that going to a Castles In Spain show is like going to therapy, that people feel cleansed after hearing our music. The feeling is really mutual."
