Case Oats is a Chicago-based indie-rock project comprising leader Casey Gomez, drummer Spencer Tweedy, guitarist Max Subar, fiddle player Scott Daniel, and bassist Jason Ashworth. They've just signed to Merge and are expected to release a debut album later this year. Today, Case Oats is sharing an upbeat acoustic strummer called "Seventeen," which comes with a video.
"When you’re 17 years old, everything feels like the most important thing in the world, yourself included," says Gomez, who sings with a Kimya Dawson-ish conversational tone. "And growing up in a small town [Eureka, Missouri], it’s even harder to see over the horizon. Every emotion feels big. This is a song about making it past that feeling.”
