CASISDEAD Releases Debut Album 'Famous Last Words'
The man, the myth, the legend: CASISDEAD, has finally released his debut project, Famous Last Words, via XL Recordings. The new project features Connie Constance, LATER, Kamio, Desire, and Pet Shop Boys frontman Neil Tennant.
In the decade since his arrival in the scene, CAS has proven to be a highly secretive figure with a seemingly spontaneous approach to releasing music without ever compromising on the quality of those drops. That mystique has proved to be his strength, making fans seek more of him and cherish those rare occasions when he does pop up.
Famous Last Words sees the fullness of CASISDEAD's cinematic approach to his music, exploring his city's criminal underbelly, its vice, its faded glamour, and its perverse code. He has always painted candid pictures of dystopian landscapes, cold and gritty, and over the course of this 23-tracker, he paints his most ambitious masterpiece yet, each bar an elaborate brushstroke.
Take it all in below.
