notes
CASEY HOLFORD is a DIY renaissance man. He grew up drawing pictures and singing in choirs, got infatuated with twelve-string guitar and open mikes at fourteen, and spent his college years touring in new england while holding down a college education in film and sound design. Now, living in Brooklyn at age twenty-eight, he has recorded three solo albums and two EPs (most recently on NYC's RiYL records), has toured nationally and internationally, and plays in upwards of three bands at any given time, including lead guitar for revivalist indie-grrls Dream Bitches and bass for the exuberant, conceptual animal band Urban Barnyard. Aside from his constant work in new media as an audio and video editor, Casey is also a prolific music producer, helping to document his community by working on projects for many of his fellow songwriters from his home studio, most recently the riotous indie-pop consortium Cheese on Bread and visionary songwriter Dave Deporis.
NYC's Lower East Side arts rag Boog City called Casey "the missing link between lesbian folk, DC punk, 80's synth-pop, and classic rock," which sounds pretty awesome. It's funny cuz it's true.
Casey has this to say about the January EP, first in his 12-step program:
"in january 2005 i lived in a run-down house in brooklyn with a bunch of jazz musicians. it was really cold and people were always up really late. maybe i wrote the first one of these songs because i couldn't get to sleep. but however it happened, i ended up writing four songs for four nights. i had never done that before, and since they were all good songs i decided to commit them to record. i think they capture something about that time of year, they way things/people can look bleak and cold and ridiculous and beautiful all at once. it's not your standard seasonal music but i think the season is in there."
