Today we’re thrilled to bring you an exclusive premiere and early listen to the new album from New Jersey-based Americana / indie-folk artist, Shane Casey. Silver Star will officially be released tomorrow and Casey along with Keith Macadoo on bass, Joex Marotta on drums, and Brian Lawrey on lead guitar, have spent the past year producing this new record. Though some of the writing process for Casey goes back even a bit further.
Silver Star is a concept album which in a sense, is about death and rebirth. The album takes a look at the life of a man dealing with the passing of his father, and the birth of his son. With its enthralling storytelling, radiant harmonies, and combination of classic folk rock and indie influences, Casey has created an album that is poignant, nostalgic, and joyful.
Shane spoke a little bit about the release by saying:
While the recording process took about a year, the idea itself started a long time ago. I probably wrote “Oh Father” roughly 5 years ago, along with “Mariana” and “Landslide”.
At first, these songs were just ways to talk about how I felt towards the death of my own father and the distance it put between me and his side of the family.
I wrote “Songbird” a couple of years later on a balcony in Ocean City, Maryland; that’s where I had the idea to start taking these thoughts and fusing them into a character that was similar to me, but dealing with different circumstances.
