After spending 2023 on a sensational journey that featured festival appearances, a BBC Radio 1 ‘Hottest Record’ title, and writing songs all around the world, Cassia are on track to have an equally exciting 2024. A coveted spot at Mexico’s Corona Capital and an intimate release show at London’s OMEARA are already on the cards, the shining gem in all these achievements is their new EP ‘Home Soon…’
Singles teased throughout last year that saw some of the most poignant writing and some of the most glowing vibes the band have ever released, the five-track project is now fully realised with the addition of lead single ‘Gamma Rays’. Sunny atmospheres are filled with playful and plucky guitar melodies, pounding and bright drums and endlessly grooving bass lines, whilst frontman Rob Ellis’ vocals call out to vibrant summer days as we leave winter behind. Effortlessly joyous, it’s the perfect addition to the new project.
The band provide an insight into the new release, “This latest batch of songs took us on a bit of a journey out of our usual surroundings; each song was written in a different place on the globe some of them with good friends of ours and we felt that gave us a new lease of life creatively. I think you can really hear the energy captured in the room of tracks like circular motion, and in songs like gamma rays I can almost hear the whirring of the planes engine in the background when listening to it. We didn’t have an idea going into this EP of any sort of lyrical theme however as we finished more and more tracks, one started to naturally appear. Summed up the EP is based around life cycles. I feel that l always struggle to cope with chapters drawing to a natural close because it forces me to change what is comfortable, it is just a natural response of mine and so these songs act as an outlet for me, some tracks reminded me of the positive outcomes that come off the back of change, whilst some songs were jotted down during a painful switch of reality.”
