Cassia break out their 'Small Spaces'

Words: Sam Geary

Macclesfield trio Cassia release their new single ‘Small Spaces’ on Distiller Records tiday (February 1).

The rousing live favourite, ‘Small Spaces’ came about as the band reflected on the monotony of routine and the feeling of being boxed in by one’s reality. Following the trio’s theme of instantly relatable lyrics set to jovial indie pop riffs, the track muses on escapism and daydreaming of a different world amidst the humdrum of day-to-day life, wanting something more. Sonically, ‘Small Spaces’ recalls the addictive twang of early Vampire Weekend and Foals, infused with ska and afrobeat influences.

“‘Small Spaces’ is the track that sets the scene for what’s to come," say The band, who head to Texas next month to play SXSW. "It’s our opener. It’s an introduction to a new tropical soundscape that we’ve been building towards since we started out.”
