AIR CASTLESBand: www.aircastlesmusic.com Myspace: www.myspace.com/aircastlesmusic Label: Winter Hymns Records. Contact: Robert INFO AIR CASTLES is the alter-ego of 21-year-old Swedish born singer-songwriter Max Mansson. Max started writing songs as ‘Air Castles’ in the summer of 2008 and shortly after decided to take some of the songs out of his bedroom and into the studio. Debut EP ‘Night and Day’ was produced at Tonteknik Recording in Umeå, Sweden, by Magnus Lindberg of Cult Of Luna and released in December 2008 on Max’s own label, Winter Hymns Records. The EP received critical acclaim in a selection of the UK press and radio play in UK, Europe and USA. After the release of ‘Night And Day’ Max spent most of 2009 concentrating on his song writing and playing sporadic shows in the UK and Spain with the likes of Shearwater, Retribution Gospel Choir and Pompeii. In August 2009, Californian shoe and clothing company DVS Shoes licensed ‘Night and Day’ track ‘Broken Watches’ for use in their Skate & Create video. Encouraged by the positive response to the EP, Max entered the studio once again with Magnus Lindberg. 10 track album ‘Lights’ was completed in February 2010 and boasts a more polished and developed sound with plenty of pop sensibilities. Album track ‘Worlds Apart’ was uploaded to the Air Castles MySpace in July 2010 and new single ‘Gold’ is due for release in October 2010. The single will be available as a limited edition 7” vinyl and digital download. As a live concept Air Castles is a 4 piece London based band.
