After completing a UK headline tour which included a triumphant four-night run at London’s Olympia in front of a combined audience of 40,000 people, Foals are set to take the sun-kissed sounds of their ‘Life Is Yours’ album to an array of major festivals this summer. As the June 17th release of ‘Life Is Yours’ approaches, Foals unveil their new single ‘2001’.

Introducing…Cassia

 Their infectious personalities glow just as much as their sun-drenched calypso sound. Cassia combine the positive indie pop of bands like Foals and Vampire Weekend with the jazz-tinged afrobeats of Fela Kuti and Ebo Taylor and American folk influences like Paul Simon to create an individual sound that uplifts.

Cassia have announced the release of their new album Why You Lacking Energy?, and shared ‘Motions’, a brand new single from the forthcoming record.

Coincidence of origins and influences of artists such as Glass Animals, The XX or Alt J, which results in a sound comparable to that of Half Moon Run, Foals or Balthazar. Bases with “Flow” mixed with an evocative voice, combining rhythms at the service of dance. Atmospheres pierced by rhythmic machinery accompanied by electronic touches that stimulate and evoke the intensity that characterizes this band.
