Welsh post-hardcore heavyweights Casey have unveiled the video for their track ‘For Katie’, taken from their acclaimed newest album How to Disappear, released via Hassle Records.

‘For Katie’ comes ahead of Casey‘s performance at the Heavy Music Awards 2024, alongside Neck Deep, Graphic Nature, and unpeople. It will be the last Casey performance while vocalist Tom Weaver recovers from open heart surgery. For more, watch Tom‘s statement here: https://youtu.be/1hV9vEItMv8

Of the song, Tom comments: “The song itself was spurred by a single conversation I had with a friend. She was showing me photos of her and I from high school, and I couldn’t remember anything at all about them. To my eyes, I looked like a completely different, happier person. It drove a sense of worry about how much of my life had been lost to a sadness I’ve never been able to define.

“The footage was captured by Sarai Kelley over the course of the two and a half weeks we spent around Europe in March/April of this year.”

How To Disappear is a statement return for the quintet who reunited in 2023, with seven huge shows in the UK and Germany, and the limited release of their 7” Atone/Great Grief (Hassle Records). Casey, at its core, was grounded in the notion that music is a labour of love. Without expectation of success, without desire to attain stardom, just a shared yearning to create music – and when this no longer rang true Casey stayed true to themselves, and stepped away.

In late 2018, when Casey announced they were bringing the band to a close, it felt like a premature demise. Their first two LPs – 2016 Love Is Not Enough and 2018’s Where I Go When I Am Sleeping – had firmly established the Welsh five-piece as one of the most exciting bands in Britain’s alternative scene.

Now, years later, the band have returned – bigger and better than ever before. Casey don’t just replicate the feelings that inspire them – they embody them.

Welsh post-hardcore heavyweights CASEY have unveiled new single ‘Selah’, the final glimpse of their new album, How to Disappear, to be released 12th January via Hassle Records.

Pre-order How to Disappear and stream ‘Selah’ here: https://casey.ffm.to/how-to-disappear

Vocalist Tom Weaver comments: “This song was actually named by Liam [Torrance, guitar]; it was a word that I wasn’t familiar with, but I think it fits the song perfectly. ‘Selah’ is “an expression occurring frequently in the Psalms, thought to be a liturgical or musical direction, probably a direction to raise the voice or perhaps an indication of a pause”. I’ve had a turbulent relationship with religion throughout most of my life. I’ve always comfortably considered myself an agnostic, but in moments of desperation I’ve definitely sought out reassurance from a being outside of myself. My overwhelming feeling towards religion is that at its best it provides a sense of belonging and community; and at its worst it serves to absolve accountability. In moments of crisis, I’ve often posed that question of “If you’re there, why are you doing this to me?. ‘Selah’ articulates that question with examples from my life. Near-death experiences or moments of pain that feel as though they shouldn’t happen beneath the benevolent gaze of something greater.“

Casey will be taking the album on a host of UK, European, Australian and North American tour dates in 2024:

Welsh post-hardcore legends CASEY have unveiled new single ‘Bite Through My Tongue’, taken from their third album, How to Disappear, to be released 12th January via Hassle Records.

Pre-order How to Disappear and stream the single here: https://casey.ffm.to/how-to-disappear

Vocalist Tom Weaver comments: “There are a handful of songs on How To Disappear that stem from the breakdown of my most recent relationship. This is the first on the record to touch on that, and it deals broadly with the extreme apathy and self-destructiveness that arises during a depressive episode; and how that impacts those closest to you.

Often, when experiencing an episode of depression, my first reaction is generally to dissociate and distance myself from the world. That’s far easier to do when living alone; but when cohabiting (and particularly while isolating during the pandemic), it meant my partner would be subject to this level of apathy that felt impermeable to physical nor emotional pain. A type of numbness that would completely detach me from the reality of my life.

“This song is definitely an embellishment of those experiences; and doesn’t discuss the situation from a single perspective. It floats between the apathetic and the empath.“

‘Bite Through My Tongue’ follows the band’s previous single and album title track, which has seen huge radio support from Jack Saunders (Future Artists), Nels Hylton (Future Alternative) Daniel P Carter (Rock Show) Alyx Holcombe (Introducing Rock) on BBC Radio 1, and many more.

Casey will be taking the album on a host of UK, European, Australian and North America tour dates in 2024.

Vocalist Tom Weaver comments:

“‘Puncture Wounds to Heaven’ centres around the themes of apathy and the guilt that can arise as a result. The “coming up for air” sensation as you briefly snap out of a depressive episode, and survey how life has progressed around you. This is a core theme that carries throughout the new record, and musically the dichotomy between the smooth verses and the chaotic middle 8 really demonstrated that in a visceral way for us.“

The new single is the first glimpse of the band’s third album, in the words of Tom: “vocally (and musically) the most ambitious we’ve ever been, but still feels quintessentially Casey.”

The new single follows a joyous return for the quintet in 2023, including seven huge shows in the UK and Germany, and the limited release of their 7” Atone/Great Grief (Hassle Records).
