Casey Neill - time zero land (2024) [Hi-Res]

CASEY NEILL & THE NORWAY RATS are a crack gang of musicians from Portland Oregon. Their sound combines high energy diesel fueled rave-ups and haunting ballads. Neill's weather beaten narratives celebrate miscreants, and explore the hidden corners of the American landscape.

Casey Neill has a new album launching via Fluff and Gravy Records time zero land. This album traces back through events in the ’90s (Pacific Northwest clearcutting) and other happenings in the 2010’s, along with their version of an 18th century Irish ballad, a song about hitchhiking in Ireland, all done with shades of Richard Thomson, Sade and Nick Drake in Casey’s Brit – folk blended style. Running throughout the songs, is the theme of care and concern for nature and life’s beauty. It’s more powerful than what the concept of “theme” connotes, for Casey sings from an honest core of authenticity and love.
