Castanets was “one of the more prominent bands in the so-called American freak folk movement (also known as psychedelic folk and New Weird America) of the early 2000s.” He was a poet and storyteller who delivered his imagery through song. In his music, Raposa has known his share of rootlessness. His songs continuously evoke travel, but long for a still center. Ray was signed under Sufjan Stevens’ Asthmatic Kitty label and he collaborated with Sufjan and countless others over the years on many albums and a couple movie soundtracks. Raymond was equally known for his kindness, deep compassion, profound intellect, and his innate soulfulness. His river ran deep. He was gracious, and modeled a life without judgement.
