The highly anticipated debut album from CASISDEAD, released on October 27, 2023, via XL Recordings. Famous Last Words expands on the dystopian futurism that has drawn audiences since CAS first emerged in 2013. Over the past decade, he's kept a low - key profile, treating fans to cult hits while staying anonymous and avoiding media spotlight. This has built a legend around a rapper known as one of the UK's most creative lyricists.
Famous Last Words is like a sci - fi movie in rap form, a maze of vice, crime, and faded glamour. Listeners enter a world narrated by CASISDEAD, dropped right into the city's underworld where he's the central figure in a shady network of gangsters, girls, and drug deals. But it's not just about bravado; the album delves into themes of loss, regret, and paranoia, with the artist self - reflecting amidst the chaos.
The album features carefully chosen collaborators such as Pet Shop Boys’ Neil Tennant, Desire, and Connie Constance. The vocalists blend into CASISDEAD's signature 80s - inspired synthpop soundscapes, thanks to a production team that includes Stranger Things composer Kyle Dixon and 'Italian’s Do It Better' label founder Johnny Jewel.
