CASSICUS

Emerging electro-pop artist CASSICUS - aka Ben Scott - prepares to release his celestial debut single Torn on 19th June 2020.

Combining honeyed vocals and poignant lyricism with vibrant, hook-laden synths, Ben has penned a classic love song that is wrapped in modern pop sensibilities. Lamenting a lost love through his years on the road, Ben showcases his expansive vocal range, sounding akin to the likes of LANY and Twin Shadow in the process. Talking about the single, Ben elaborates, “the reality for musicians is very much a double edged sword. Musicians are happiest when they are working, but with their work comes sacrifice in their relationships due to absence. Often, as a musician, all you can do it chalk these periods up to a life lesson, to at least find a positive in situations that can seem anything but.”

Despite this being CASSICUS’ debut single, Ben is no stranger to the music industry. Over the past ten years, Ben has played and recorded drums for the likes of Ed Sheeran and Tom Walker, the latter with whom he also performed last summer at Lisbon’s Nos Alive Festival. CASSICUS is the manifestation of years of experience as a musician. Ben is now aiming his sights at the centre stage and intends to captivate listeners with his ethereal blend of shimmering alt-pop. 

Torn is out on 19th June 2020.
