Cast has released new single ‘Faraway', taken from their upcoming new album ‘Love is the Call'.
‘Faraway' follows on from ‘Love You Like I Do' and ‘Love is the Call', and it's a song that inspires an inner strength and the belief that many of life’s challenges can be overcome with a little time and determination.
Frontman John Power says, “‘Faraway’ is a classic pop song, all jangling guitars with an instant hook line and melody that lifts off from the word go. The song is about trying to find your voice in a world that doesn’t care or seem to want to listen. As the world turns into the shadows, the sun still burns so far away, and the dreams you keep until tomorrow, they sometimes feel so far away.”
‘Love Is The Call' is available to pre-order now. In addition to its digital release, Cast’s official store offers a green vinyl with a signed print as well as a pink vinyl and a signed CD, while Rough Trade offers a limited edition blue vinyl edition.
Cast will celebrate the release of ‘Love Is The Call' by embarking upon an extensive record store tour, which mixes intimate performances, album signing sessions and meet-and-greets. The album’s impact will be heightened by bigger live plans as 2024 unfolds: a full UK headline tour in March before they join Liam Gallagher’s ‘Definitely Maybe' arena shows in June – a reunion after Cast were part of the bill during Oasis’s iconic Knebworth shows in 1996. Their summer festival schedule is also taking shape.
