Casey’s songs have been called “alt country at their core,” with “thick compositions of piano, mandolin and resigned drums drenched in regret, hope and lovesickness.
-Jordan Sargent, Move Magazine
“The group's debut "House Painters" invites violins and mandolins into the fold, lending an alt-country vibe to the group's languishing ballads and Dylanesque bar burners.”
