As the release of their third album, How To Disappear, looms, Casey has unleashed the contemplative ballad “Selah.” The aptly titled record marks the group’s full-length return following the announcement of their 2018 disbandment and is set to debut on January 12 via Hassle Records. The group’s latest effort showcases a shift toward a quieter, more introspective tone compared to the album’s previous previews: “Puncture Wounds To Heaven,” “How To Disappear,” and “Bite Through My Tongue.” Rather than having their post-hardcore roots prominently on display, “Selah” flourishes with melancholic percussion, moody guitar melodies, and vocalist Tom Weaver’s reflective delivery.
