About

Spirit Goth is a diy artist-run label that specializes in releasing lo-fi pop music on vinyl & cassettes. The sound spans from bedroom pop, dream pop, shoegaze, post-punk, new wave, jangle pop - basically just indie rock in general. 

The label was started in 2016 in a college dorm by Josh Hwang (aka CASTLEBEAT). The very first release was Girlfight by Jaded Juice Riders, Josh’s high school lo-fi surf project. In the early days, he used to record cassettes by hand on an old tape deck, one cassette at a time. Since then, Spirit Goth has grown organically via word-of-mouth / the internet, but is still run by Josh along with the help of his wife, Sonia Gadhia.
