Description
2023, 2×12″ LP XL Recordings. Clear vinyl.
XL have been steadily building up momentum with CASISDEAD over the past few years, while the cult rapper had been leaving a breadcrumb trail of music to an ever-growing fanbase for some time before. Now, the wait is over as he finally unveils his debut album, and Famous Last Words is delivered with a sense of ceremony which more than matches the anticipation. When your guests include Neil Tennant, Connie Constance and Desire, you know you’re pulling out all the stops. The album runs like cinematic narrative guided by CAS’ distinctive flows, backed by a sleek synth-pop production style fuelled by collaborators including Kyle Dixon and Johnny Jewel. – Juno
