Macclesfield 3-piece Cassia today reveal their brand new track ‘miles out’ – taken from the band’s forthcoming, ambitious new studio album everyone, outside – out April 11th.
The album marks a bold new chapter, recently serving up a tropical-tinged first offering in ‘heat’, swiftly followed by the stomping, hook-laden ‘friends’, which saw the most fan engagement on a new single to date and over a million views across the campaign, and now today sees the unveiling of their new upbeat, introspective guitar-lead anthem ‘miles out’ – listen here.
“This song came from a moment of overthinking a relationship, feeling distant and imagining they’d leave because I was too closed off,” says Jacob Leff. “Writing Miles Out helped me accept that I’d created that narrative myself. But there’s a lightness in that realisation – an ‘I don’t need you to feel bad’ kind of thing. Looking back, it’s almost funny because none of it was true. This song helped me make sense of where the mind goes when you let it.” everyone, outside takes Cassia’s sound to new heights. Written fresh off the back of two years of relentless touring, the band channelled every ounce of their renowned live energy into the album, returning to a studio they built themselves in Macclesfield, after creating their previous album in Berlin. The journey provided an added twist, recording the majority of tracks live on TikTok, giving fans a unique, inclusive experience to be part of the process.
Cassia’s rise has been impressive. From their early days busking the streets of Cornwall to playing major festivals, touring the world and receiving critical acclaim from BBC Radio 1, Radio X, The Independent, Rolling Stone UK, Clash & many more, the band has carved out a unique niche. Their sound, influenced by the African music Rob’s father introduced him to, combined with the indie heritage of nearby Manchester, combines the positivity of bands like Foals and Vampire Weekend, with the jazz-tinged afrobeats of Fela Kuti and Ebo Taylor.
After signing to Distiller Records in 2018, the band gave up their full-time jobs and ventured to Bath to record their debut album, Replica. Tracks such as ‘Right There’, ‘Drifting’ & ‘100 Times Over’ have amassed millions of streams, seeing the band sell out multiple headline Tours both in the UK and Europe. Playing to a homecoming capacity crowd at Manchester’s O2 Ritz, as well as sold out headline shows at London’s KOKO & The Garage, the band have accrued a huge, loyal following and their live shows earned them a nomination for Best Live Act at the AIM Awards alongside Idles and DMA’s, as well as making them the winners of Reeperbahn’s Anchor Award in 2022.
Cassia will tour the UK in May 2025, playing songs from the new album and some of their biggest tracks – headlining Leeds, Bristol, a newly added night in Southampton, a special Manchester homecoming, Glasgow, Birmingham, & a huge show at London’s HERE @ Outernet – dates below & Tickets Here. The band will also take things Stateside this year for their first ever run of headline shows in the US & Mexico.
Now, with everyone, outside, Cassia are primed and ready to soundtrack your 2025 and beyond.
