"For Katie" comes ahead of Casey's performance at the Heavy Music Awards 2024, alongside Neck Deep, Graphic Nature, and unpeople. It will be the last Casey performance while vocalist Tom Weaver recovers from open heart surgery. For more, watch Tom's statement here:
Of the song, Tom comments: "The song itself was spurred by a single conversation I had with a friend. She was showing me photos of her and I from high school, and I couldn’t remember anything at all about them. To my eyes, I looked like a completely different, happier person. It drove a sense of worry about how much of my life had been lost to a sadness I’ve never been able to define.
"The footage was captured by Sarai Kelley over the course of the two and a half weeks we spent around Europe in March/April of this year."

"How To Disappear" is a statement return for the quintet who reunited in 2023, with seven huge shows in the UK and Germany, and the limited release of their 7'' Atone/Great Grief (Hassle Records).
Casey, at its core, was grounded in the notion that music is a labour of love. Without expectation of success, without desire to attain stardom, just a shared yearning to create music - and when this no longer rang true Casey stayed true to themselves, and stepped away.
In late 2018, when Casey announced they were bringing the band to a close, it felt like a premature demise. Their first two LPs - 2016 Love Is Not Enough and 2018’s "Where I Go When I Am Sleeping" – had firmly established the Welsh five-piece as one of the most exciting bands in Britain’s alternative scene.
Now, years later, the band have returned - bigger and better than ever before. Casey don't just replicate the feelings that inspire them - they embody them.
