Cashier put out a song. Does it rip? I don’t know. Is the sky blue?
Today, the Lafayette-based four piece announced forthcoming EP, The Weight, set to come out March 13th via Julia’s War, offering a preview through new single, “Like I Do”. While it is only the sixth song available on their discography, Cashier’s minimal amount of recorded music thus far has certainly not hindered their stretching reputation. They have a sound capable of hijacking even the most disintegrated, brain-rotted attention spans; delivering profound live sets and injecting that raw, divinely DIY essence into their recorded music. “Like I Do” taps traditional rock music in the best way possible. It’s hearty, messy, dynamic. Kylie Gaspard’s vocals are paramount and unrelenting when present; and when they aren’t, the space is swiftly filled with sovereign shredding.
About the song, Gaspard explains, “This one is more of a piece of generic rock. We kind of wanted to make our own version of that sound. The lyrics are very simple, just about two people figuring each other out, what feels right when you’re unsure of a scenario, and navigating another person’s energy.”
