“Impermanence” is a record that grips you with its dreamy and ethereal soundscape. The atmospheric mixture of so many genres and styles from Charleston based Casey Wells is a statement of the artist’s eclecticism and sonic explorations. From the rivetingly soothing opener on “Keep It Coming”, Wells draws you in with a sheer ear worm of an experience. Anchored and rooted on his supple and serenading falsetto but accentuated by the luxurious richness of the overarching production environment and the inherent vulnerability of its narrative structure, Wells enchanting melodic moods bring out and let you unravel your own internal stream of consciousness.
Casey Wells provokes, crafting these hauntingly beautiful ballads one after the other across the otherwise luscious and resplendent sound of the record. The simple acoustic strumming on a song like “Moving On” conveys so much through the usage of larger electronic soundscapes to build it up further.
It’s richly conceived across each track, a delectable sequence of melodic pop ballads that are as sincere as they are experimentally unique.
