Premiere: Dom Robinson – ‘Casey’

Leeds newcomer matches tender lyricism to a poignant touch...

Leeds newcomer Dom Robinson placed his first track online in the opening days of 2017, a means to kick off the New Year.

The results were startling. Poignant, mature songwriting, Dom Robinson's work seemed to cut just a little deeper than most.

New cut 'Casey' airs first on Clash, and it opens with clashing sounds before filtering down to focus on Dom's voice.

Softly entrancing, the quiet intensity recalls Nick Drake, or even aspects of Frightened Rabbit… albeit with an approach all of his own.

Dom explains: “I wrote the track after watching a film that one of my friend’s starred in, and it’s about the idea of having to see somebody you were with, with somebody else.”

Tune in now.

'Casey' will be released on March 3rd. Catch Dom Robinson at Leeds' Brudenell Social Club on March 4th.
