Cass dropped The Writ this week, an album we’ve been digging into since presenting you with the color-faded whimsy of the all-that “That’s That.” That’s not all Dropping‘s good for, though; “Deseret”‘s another dusty cut deserving repeat plays on your non-Radiohead playlists. Cass spins less of a story than he did on “That,” instead singing of shadows, comfort, yellow grass, and harmonies — while harmonizing. The ’60s-style psychy & western sound seems fit for fear and loving on a long ride through the desert, preferably with someone named Deseret.
And if you missed it last time, here’s this:

While I don’t think this song is about it, “Deseret” was the original name for the Territory of “Utah.”
Nicely done, Cass
Not new. Domino sent it out 3 days ago.
Kinda similar to Deseret by Versus, no?
I like what I’ve heard so far. He’s been touring with Jose Gonzalez and will be opening up for Band of Horses tourr in 2008.
