" Nick Castro and his backing band The Young Elders blend the sensibilities of experimental, psychedelic rock with folk music. Their music is solemn, serene and beautiful."
- All Songs Considered, NPR
"Nick Castro & the Young Elders throw a nouveaux-folk free-for all ... On "Come Into Our House," the new album by L.A.'s Nick Castro & the Young Elders, exotic sounds are always waiting to run away with the melodic line or shift the vibe over several continents. It's a neo-folk trip on steroids."
- Frank Farrar, LA TIMES
"...the stuff's gorgeous, and he allows freewheeling variations to leak into moon-altar paeans via a full backup crew." - Brandon Stosuy, THE VILLAGE VOICE
How have you guys been?? I haven't seen you in a while! I was just in London with John. He was playing cello for Marc Almond. Had dinner with Joolie, Baby Dee and everyone while I was there. We should get together when I'm in Los Angeles. Miss you, Johnny
Nick & Wendy, Happy Kwanzaa! Feliz Navidad! Happy New Year! Elise and I are down in Texas meeting my new nephew, Henry. Please tell your famililies hi from us. And, if you are with Zoey, CALL US! And we'll see you soon.
6 people, 1 room, 1 superfuzz, and visions of South Paradiso's Spring Line Running through my veins. Oh, and the record sounds even better @ home. Tre Bien.
