On Jennifer Castle’s new album Angels of Death, her third full-length record under her given name the Ontario songwriter summons a kindred classical vision of the Muses as domestic familiars intimately in league with death..

Over the course of her fruitful career in music, she has collaborated with U.S. Girls, Owen Pallett, Doug Paisley, Fucked Up, and Kath Bloom; she has toured with Destroyer, Steve Gunn, Cass McCombs, Kurt Vile, Iron & Wine, and M. Ward, among others.
