Casi opens up on glistening new track “Homesick”

Bringing a folk-like quality to left-of-centre arena pop, Casi imbues her output with a candid sense of honesty. On “Homesick” the artist reflects on the cruelty of attachment to people and place whilst ruminating on the unquantifiable feeling of returning home.

The delivery of these fairly mature ideas is packaged within her own distinctive brand of sparkly, post-Romantic power pop as demonstrated on “The Beast” (the other A-side on her debut Chess Club release) and big hitter “Lion”. There is a definitive tone of defiance Casi’s voice, a clarion call at the baseness of popular culture and public perception.

Casi was one of the best acts we caught at The Great Escape, the UK's answer to SXSW, last month. Find out more.
