Cassia may not be a household name yet, but their debut album Replica already features seven singles: 100 Times Over, Sink, Out Of Her Mind, Get Up Tight, Loosen Up, Small Spaces and the title track. Does this make Cassia the first band to release a ‘best of’ set as their first album? 😉

Whether this is the case or not, Replica is a very fine compilation of what the band have been up to the last years, and in case you missed that, it’s the best possible introduction. Cassia is a British trio that combine indie-pop with elements of tropical and world music, not unlike Vampire Weekend did early in their career.

Next to the seven singles, this long-player counts four new tracks. Funnily, Movers And Shapers was the title of an EP the band released in 2018, but the EP’s title track features on this album for the first time.
