The Lore Of Mysticore is the debut album by Magic Castles, originally released in 2008, and it has since become a cult favorite within the underground psychedelic scene. Blending hazy psych-pop, lo-fi folk, and shoegaze textures, the album creates a dreamlike, intimate atmosphere driven by reverb-soaked guitars and gently hypnotic melodies. Its songs feel both mystical and fragile, balancing childlike wonder with a subtle sense of melancholy. Over the years, the record gained a quiet but devoted following, praised for its immersive mood rather than its polish.
The 2025 reissue represents a significant moment for the album’s legacy. Released for the first time on vinyl, this edition gives The Lore Of Mysticore a new physical presence and introduces it to listeners who may have missed it the first time around. The reissue fits into a broader revival of overlooked psychedelic records from the 2000s, highlighting the album’s lasting charm and influence. More than a simple re-release, it confirms the record’s status as a timeless, atmospheric work that still resonates well beyond its original era.
