Cashier Announces Debut EP, ‘The Weight,’ With New Single “Part From Me”
Louisiana-based rock band Cashier is gearing up to release their debut EP, The Weight, on March 13th via Julia’s War, and have shared a second single, “Part From Me,” following last month’s release of “Like I Do.” The band describes themselves as here “to rage,” a sentiment clearly demonstrated in their energetic sound.
Bandleader Kylie Gaspard described the new song as a “love letter to singing, and a celebration of rock guitar.” She explained that she aimed for a playful feel in the verses, crafting a melody that interacts with the guitar lines. Lyrically, “Part From Me” delves into the complexities of connection, exploring the distance that can exist between people, the push and pull of relationships, and the sometimes-inevitable feeling of repulsion – “like when two magnets repel.” The song also contemplates the invitation, or lack thereof, to be a part of another person’s life.
Gaspard previously described their earlier single, “Like I Do,” as “more of a piece of generic rock,” suggesting a deliberate embrace of classic rock elements within their sound. This approach is further highlighted in her description of “Part From Me’s” musical focus on vocals and guitar.
Cashier’s emergence comes amidst a vibrant music scene, with other artists also announcing new releases. Stereogum recently highlighted new music from artists including Molina with “Golden Brown Sugar,” Bleachers with “you and forever” (announcing a new album, everyone for ten minutes), The Paranoid Style with a Lucinda Williams cover, Victoria Monét with “Let Me,” Tinariwen featuring José González with “Imidiwan Takyadam,” and Powerplant with “The Fork.” Rosalía also recently shared a music video for “Sauvignon Blanc” and discussed her role in the show Euphoria.
Stereogum reported that Cashier released their first single, “Like I Do” last month. The band is building momentum with these releases, signaling a promising start to their career. The EP, The Weight, is set to drop on .
