The track and it’s nostalgic video evoke the spirit of the era in powerful and rousing fashion
Their 2023 fan favourite track ‘The 90s’ is one that perfectly encapsulates the appeal and charm of hotly-tipped UK indie rock outfit The Castros, a track that is packed full of wistful, nostalgic appeal and engrossing melodies, armed with both a modern cutting edge and a thoughtful vintage lens that evokes the spirit of the period that the track is named after.
This makes the track an ideal candidate to become the first music video release from the band, and one that perfectly captures the specific cultural appeal of the 90s and ties in seamlessly with the track. The video explores a poignant and bittersweet story of somebody that feels disenfranchised by modern times, pining for the rawness and sense of character that adorned his youth. Cans of red stripe, hanging out with friends, going to shows, all those things are still there now, but something just doesn’t hit the same, and this track and video do a great job of pinpointing that unique appeal and feel that the time period had, leaving such an indelible mark on so many.
