Details: Moving Backgrounds is Castor's complete body of work, pressed on vinyl for the first time ever. Castor arrived in 1994 just as fellow Champaign-Urbana, IL, bands Hum and Braid broke through and rose to prominence. While Hum and Braid redefined their respective genres, Castor took an experimental approach to slow-core indie on their self-titled debut and eventually landed on post-shoegaze rock with the sophomore album Tracking Sounds Alone. Castor earned touring slots with The Promise Ring, Braid, Dianogah, Hum, and Shiner. Eventually collapsing under the pressure of life and work, Castor played it's last show in January 1998. Twenty years later the band reunited and performed with their old pals Hum, and quickly realized Castor needed a vinyl treatment. Six years later, (between television and film scoring gigs), singer/guitarist Jeff Garber finished a reimagined remix of 1997's Tracking Sounds Alone and a pristine remaster of 1995's Castor, culminating in 2025's Moving Backgrounds, a 2xLP set featuring both Castor full-length albums and five bonus tracks. Moving Backgrounds is being released via Earth Analog Records, with exclusive distribution from Polyvinyl Record Co. The release features new artwork from longtime collaborator Andy Mueller, colored 180-gram vinyl, original artwork jackets, pullout color inserts with liner notes from the band, Braid's Bob Nanna, Shiner's Allen Epley, and Honcho Overload/Parasol Mail Order guru Bill Johnson: a fitting package for a group that rubbed shoulders with some of the late-90's most influential bands.
