Casey have dropped a final early single from their upcoming third album.
Atmospheric and emotive, Selah marks the fourth preview of 'How To Disappear', due out on January 12 via Hassle Records. Vocalist Tom Weaver commented:
"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."
The Welsh post-hardcore band will support the LP with a spring UK and European tour, which includes dates on the touring Impericon Festival. The run will follow their shows supporting Holding Absence across North America, which kick off later in January. Tickets are on sale now.
