Cascine

Cascine is a music label based in New York and London, specializing in experimental pop. Founded in early 2011 by Sandra Croft and Jeff Bratton, Cascine has quickly become known for its unique roster of talented artists.

With a focus on pushing the boundaries of pop music, Cascine seeks out innovative and forward-thinking musicians who are not afraid to take risks. The label prides itself on discovering new talent and providing them with a platform to share their art with the world.

From dreamy synth-pop to atmospheric electronic beats, Cascine's diverse range of artists offers something for every music lover. Whether you're looking for *Yumi Zouma*'s infectious melodies or *Chad Valley*'s ethereal soundscapes, Cascine has it all.

The Golden Ass is a dreamy electroacoustic infusion of folk, country, pop and soft rock, with an undercurrent of ambient, sometimes psychedelic melancholy. Listen closely and you’ll hear traces of the millennial RnB that soundtracked her teen years. Her biggest influences are three singers who all arose in the 1970s: Sandy Denny, Bonnie Raitt and the lesser known Valerie Carter. Crackling vinyl atmospherics, a Roland CR-78 drum machine, and a sample of a bong being pulled leads the buzzed tempo of teen angst and emotional numbing on “Grape &amp; Grain”. Live drums and a solid groove carry “High” through a late-night slow dance, as Cora’s layered vocals recall snapshots from an aimless walk at dusk. At once deeply personal and universal in its themes, the record is a gorgeous journey deep into the mind of a perpetual outsider. Mirren Kessling’s cover—featuring a nude Fauness with shiny latex gloves and thigh-highs, while embracing a donkey—reminds us that no-one’s ever lonely in the worlds we create for ourselves
