Duo CAST releases their sophomore album "Identities" which sees them expand their sound and instrumentation while keeping percussion and voice at the core. Joining them will be guests YAWN.
CAST is a duo founded by drummer/percussionist Ben Brown and singer/guitarist Jessica Leger. The pair formed the project with the intention of making rhythm the dominant characteristic of their sound, which features a variety of percussive instruments both pitched and unpitched, open guitar tunings, and lots of improvised percussion. Their latest offering, Identities, finds the duo sound in a new and rich sonic landscape with orchestration by Colin Nealis (Andy Shauf), bass by James Meger, and tap dance percussion by Dayna Szyndrowski.
Vancouver’s Julia McDougall cut her teeth in music in Western Canada’s folk scenes by earning a composition degree from Simon Fraser University and temporarily relocating to Berlin to practice her craft. The result is Yawn, a psychedelic but immediately accessible vocal pop project full of hazy longing. Hummable singles “Wasting Time” and “Golden” show great promise for her debut full-length album, expected to be out sometime in 2023.
