INFO:
With only a year following on from the release of her second album ‘Awake But Always Dreaming’ to widespread acclaim (Voted No.1 Album Of the Year – Electronic Sound Magazine), ‘Mary Casio: Journey to Cassiopeia’, explores one person's journey to outer space, by recounting the story of an unknown, elderly, pioneering, electronic musical stargazer and her lifelong dream to leave her terraced home in the mining town of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, to see Cassiopeia for herself. With artwork by Grammy award winning designer Jonathan Barnbrook (David Bowie collaborator on albums ‘Blackstar’ and ‘The Next Day’ ) and the complete brass band and rhythm section recorded live on location in The Barnsley Civic Theatre with Peter Gabriel’s Real World studio team, this exclusive album combines Peel’s detailed, analogue synth layered production and her expressive flair for performance with ‘Tubular Brass’, featuring the top UK championship brass band players. It’s a wholly unique, collaborative sound and seemingly, a first of it’s kind both live and on record. 

At the close of the album’s final song ‘The Planet of Passed Souls’, tutti brass jostle with the hiss and crackle of a 78rpm record. An emotionally charged, scratchy sample taken from a 1928 recording of Peel’s own choirboy grandfather in Manchester Cathedral leaves the listener questioning the reality of Mary’s connection with the stars… Did she ever make it to Cassiopeia? Is this all a daydream as she sits in a back garden shed tinkering with electronics and her telescope? Or maybe this is her final breath as her mind and body pass into another realm of life? Is this science or fantasy? And how much is there really a division between the two?

No Control - Keel Her

i can hear the sirens 

Nights are getting wild and 

we don’t want it to end

technicolour violence 

Petro dollar fightin’

kiss me + let’s pretend 


there’s no 

vapour trail sunset

are you having fun yet 

big boy jets in the sky

while the old men are talking 

pretty boys lost in 

all the rivers we cry 

Cos the love me make

is all we take for shelter 

for shelter


Like a warm embrace

in a war torn place 

forever forever 


When the only thing left of home

are the ashes falling like snow 


When the whole world falls apart

You’re my shelter in the dark 


Bombs like thunder 

we can hide under

the bass, the smoke and the lights 


Tripping on the noise and 

sipping on the poison

you can have you whatever you like 


Allies and enemies

mapping out tragedies

of our love story


the best you ever tasted 

let’s get wasted

leave the worries for morning

Shelter

"Out There" Live Demo Recordings with no Mic Partitioning. Synths/Strings added in "Post Production." 

Rehearsal Demos recorded to FIND a Singer, Bassist and Synth player. I'm currently looking to complete the band line up - which currently is me, Bard, on guitars and Animal on drums. In another life I was previously in a band signed to Boy Georges More Protein label.

It's a different way to write for me - just locking into the rhythm first, to create ideas on the guitar - but it's producing interesting ideas and soundscapes. 

Message us and come down for a jam. We're rehearsing out in the country in a great facility @ KMD in Chesham, Bucks - Last stop on the London Metropolitan tube line.

Influences: The Doors, Pink Floyd, Black Submarine, Verve, 
Janes Addiction, Soundgarden, Killing Joke, Velvet Underground, Joy Division, Tool, The Stranglers.
