Casey Have Announced Their Second Album
"Looking back now, though, I realise I could have died four or five times. I’m lucky to be here..."
Kerrang! Tour 2017 openers Casey have announced details of their deeply personal new record. The quintet will release Where I Go When I Am Sleeping on March 16 through Hassle Records.
On top of that, they've also revealed a new track called Fluorescents, which will feature on the sophomore LP. The album is a personal insight into the physical and mental afflictions of vocalist Tom Weaver.
“I was diagnosed with brittle bones when I was born,” Tom explains, “and when I was 15 I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and at 20 I was diagnosed with manic depression. I’ve also had a heart attack and a stroke and I was in this crazy car accident that crushed half my face. They’re big life events, but a lot of the stuff that’s happened to me medically was stuff that I was just living through at the time. Looking back now, though, I realise I could have died four or five times. I’m lucky to be here.”
