Magic Castles sign to Fuzz Club, share lead single 'Abandoned Mansions' and announce new album 'Realized', out April 24th 

We’re stoked to welcome Magic Castles to the Fuzz Club family! The Minnesota band led by Jason Edmonds are today announcing their new album ‘Realized’ and sharing the lead single ‘Abandoned Mansions’. Pre-order the limited coloured vinyl here

Released April 24th 2026, ‘Realized’ consists of nine dreamlike, melody-led trips that unfold in waves. Equal parts hazy nostalgia and widescreen modern psychedelia, centring dreamy, heavily-layered arrangements and floating vocal harmonies. On 'Abandoned Mansions', the lead single out everywhere today, Edmonds says: "Abandoned Mansions is a new song about love and loss, the urge to leave it all behind, and the liminal sadness inherent in once-grand places that have been forsaken and lost."

Magic Castles was formed in Minneapolis MN in the early 2000s by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Jason Edmonds. Their debut album ‘Lore of Mysticore’ caught the ear of Anton Newcombe of the Brian Jonestown Massacre, culminating in four albums released on Newcombe’s label ‘A’ Recordings Ltd over 2012-22 – including, most recently, 2021’s ‘Sun Reign’ (a song from which would feature on an episode of the hit HBO series Succession). After a headline tour of Europe in 2023, Jason returned to Minneapolis and steadily finished piecing together ‘Realized’ – the band’s fifth-full length, now ready to see the light of the day on their new label home Fuzz Club.

Edmonds and the rest of the current Magic Castles line-up (consisting of Adam Patterson on drums, Izaak Drew on guitar and Kristof Marden on bass) recorded the tracks with Nick Tveitbakk at the legendary Pachyderm Studios in Minnesota, with additional recording by Edmonds at his studio the Map Room and in Neil Weir’s remote chapel-converted-to-studio, Blue Bell Knoll, where Edmonds and Weir would loving co-mix the end result.
