Neon Castle - Compiled by Charles Bals (Smiling C)

 Additional design work and sleeve layout by Asger Behncke Jacobsen

Neon Castle sheds a light on a forgotten corner of 1980s folk‑rock. Bright slide guitar, smooth fretless bass and airy female vocals float over drum machines to create music that feels both familiar and dream‑like. Some tracks carry the warmth of wide-open landscapes, while others evoke a mystical, candlelit atmosphere.

Curated by Charles Bals, in collaboration with Smiling C, this collection shows his gift for turning sound into story. Each song feels like a scene from an imagined film—castles glowing, kingdoms in purple haze, white horses running free. Neon Castle invites listeners into a world of fantasy, where music itself becomes the narrative. Tip!
