Casey release new song ‘Selah’

CASEY have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Selah, is taken from the Welsh post-hardcore band’s upcoming new album, How To Disappear, which is scheduled to be released next week.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Tom Weaver says, “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.”

How To Disappear is set for release on January 12th via Hassle Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here. The band will be touring across mainland Europe and the UK in March/April next year, check out the tour dates here!
