The highly anticipated debut album, Famous Last Words, from CASISDEAD hit the shelves on October 27, 2023, via XL Recordings. Since CAS first emerged in 2013, his dystopian futurism has won over many. Over the past decade, he's kept a low - key profile, delighting fans with cult hits while avoiding the media spotlight. This has built a mystique around this UK rapper, known for his inventive lyrics.
Famous Last Words is a blend of a sci - fi film and a rap record, a world full of vice, crime, and fading glamour. As you listen, you're transported into a CASISDEAD - narrated realm, right into the seedy underbelly of a city where he's the central figure in a web of gangsters, girls, and drug deals. But it's not all bravado; the album delves into themes of loss, regret, and paranoia, with CASISDEAD constantly self - reflecting in the chaos.
The album features carefully chosen collaborators like Pet Shop Boys’ Neil Tennant, Desire, and Connie Constance. The vocalists fit seamlessly into CASISDEAD’s 80s - inspired synthpop soundscapes, thanks to producers like Stranger Things composer Kyle Dixon and ‘Italian’s Do It Better’ label founder Johnny Jewel.
