FRESH: ‘After The End (Rainbow Wood Sessions)’ – Liz Cass

Liz Cass releases a collection of previously unreleased material

After a fruitful 2023 with her superb new tracks “Too Hot” and “Map Of A Human Heart”, Liz Cass has released the album “After The End (Rainbow Wood Sessions)”, featuring 14-tracks of shimmering and ethereal Pop songs written and recorded with producer Ed Graves at his Rainbow Wood Studios in Bath between 2019-2021.

The collection of songs were created during the writing sessions for Liz’s highly acclaimed debut album “The Words“, released in 2022. The new songs are an experimental group of B-sides reflecting the varying sounds, emotions, and moods the pair worked through to reach “The Words”.

The title track and opener “After The End” launches the unchained experimentation flowing throughout the collection of songs, a pensive warm glow of synth-pop welcoming self-acceptance delivered through chilling breathy vocals which are also found on the likes of “Stranded” (including additional vocals from Ed Graves), or “Silent Night”, which builds into a bold glacial pop anthem.

“Waiting Room” turns the record completely on its head with seductive jazz infused soul, which also seeps into the likes of “Tomorrow Land”, yet here is bolstered by dark synths and broken beats among the wide-ranging vocals. They delve even deeper into an electronic tip with the warm propulsive “Never Had You”, and the minimal “Quicksand”, while the record comes full circle to finish with a beautiful acoustic rendition of “After The End”.

Liz is a constantly evolving artist and this collection of songs captures a time of development of her own musical sound and personal understanding of wellbeing. Her music is an honest outpour of navigating life and emotions, which came together in their full form for “The Words”, the pivotal debut record of stunning alt-pop tunes. With 2023 now behind her, Liz heads into the new year with more exciting music to come in 2024. Stay tuned…!
