Later That Day, The Day Before, Or The Day Before That

Description

Casey MQ is known for his album babycasey, released in 2020, as well as for various film scores and collaborations with artists such as Oklou (who returns on this new album), Eartheater, and Vagabon. His talents as a producer and songwriter are rooted in building a textured world and seeking personal truth. With Later that day..., his first album for Ghostly International, he questions what is truly real, analyzing the tendency of our minds to distort and project onto images from the past. Through lively and baroque pop ballads, Casey MQ reorients his project and perspective by assuming that memories are malleable. By diving into his dreams and sitting at his newly acquired piano, he turned to new and old inspirations, including the works of Claude Debussy, Joni Mitchell, and the beloved film scores of Studio Ghibli by Joe Hisaishi. The studied electronic sound of babycasey is not completely abandoned on Later that day...; on the contrary, it establishes itself as an atmosphere, giving Casey's more spacious and minimal arrangements a distinct glow and brilliance. For fans of James Blake, Ryan Beatty, Moses Sumney, Caroline Polachek, Perfume Genius, Sufjan Stevens, Roy Blair, Troye Sivan.
