Kastor

We are twins from the Gemini-constellation. Kastor’s previously so carefully hidden world of water lilies, pale pink flamingos and gentle tigers is finally opening to us all. The stories told on the debut album Lost Station create comforting states and frequencies with almost illegally beautiful The shade of Kastor’s music is deep, dark blue, but definitely not black. Like an embracing summer night, it brings hope and comfort through riddles and questions. Why do not our paths cross even if we try to keep the track of each other? Should we have done something differently in a particular moment, leave the train at the previous station? Is finding impossible and searching hopeless when the connection fails? Lost Station is simultaneously a concrete place and an abstract image. Formed in Helsinki in the year 2000, Kastor has done a thorough groundwork over the years by touring with top Finnish indie names, such as Underwater Sleeping Society and Magenta Skycode, not to mention Rubik, whose frontman Artturi Taira is also a member of Kastor.
