This cassette includes an exclusive poetic overview of the album, where each song title creates a line within a greater story. This poem is only found inside these sleeves! Every tape is numbered. Four color variations are available, all inspired by the eccentric paint of Ezra’s childhood home.

Backyard Castles, an ambient music group created by Ezra Bram and Miles Jenkins, is stoked to release their first album together. As a master’s student in the process of becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor, Ezra honed in on the emotional foundation of the project. As a well seasoned, professional musician steeped in jazz, Miles crafted each musical expression to feel authentic, vulnerable, and meaningful.

Quartz Circle is meant to commemorate the piano in the basement of Ezra's childhood home. The music extends beyond personal memories and welcomes each lister to explore their own ambiguous experiences, dynamics, and relationships from childhood. We encourage listeners to dedicate 45 minutes to uninterrupted listening with a journal, as this is meant to be a seamless experience that helps you process your own past.
