Mufti Day is Dictaphone Blues' third album. This time around the music has been played, recorded and mixed solely by Edward Castelow, employing a more analogue approach than previous outings. Utilising 1/4" tape machines, vintage desks and ribbon microphones before being effected, screwed and mixed using the modern technologies we know and love, resulting in a warmer and more dynamic sound than previous releases.

"I wanted a more singular vision for these songs, if for no other reason than to just change it up a bit. I'd done the first album by myself with a couple of friends here and there, and then with Beneath The Crystal Palace it was a joint effort with Rob and Myles. I wanted to nurture something from inside myself this time, see what it sounded like and to prove to myself that I could do it".

A stalwart of the thriving Auckland musical landscape and charismatic performer, Castelow has written an album of catching grooves and indie pop diamonds with poetic tongue in cheek lyrical mysticism, commenting on and poking fun at life, love and the universe.

"With widescreen production Phil Spector might admire, hooks big enough to land swordfish, half-familiar melodies, and cannoning drums behind stacked-up jangle guitars and sweeping synth-strings, (Dictaphone Blues) is a sheer delight and only the hardest heart won't be amused, seduced and delighted' - Graham Reid, (NZ Herald & elsewhere.co.nz)
