Almost Barely – GET DOWN

Today is a big day for Bay Area artist Almost Barely (aka Ty Cassutt), who has just released a fabulous new project called ‘CANDY’ (listen here).

‘GET DOWN’ is the first song on the record, and is one of the most interesting tracks that we’ve come across so far this week. The production doesn’t necessarily fit into any specific genre, but rather fuses a multitude of sonic styles together, resulting in a piece of music that is refreshingly original.

Elaborating further on his new collection of songs, Ty says:

“The idea behind this project was to disregard songwriting and production ‘rules’ and just make the songs that sound like candy for your ears. The project covers many different genres and I believe there’s something for everyone. I’m not a musician, I just make songs.”

To date, Almost Barely has garnered more than 140k cumulative streams on Spotify alone. If you’ve only just come across this artist, then be sure to check out his 2022 album ‘Rare Fantasia, Vol. 1’ here.

New Music: Almost Barely

Fantastic Californian indie-pop from a talent who only discovered music-making during quarantine, with no prior experience.

That said, Almost Barely’s debut is brimming with charm and character, and carries an emotive undertone that pines for the days before we all went into lockdown.

“This is a song I made after reminiscing on a night pre-covid out on the town with my girl. We spent the night bar hopping in San Francisco and went to a concert at our favourite venue and I just really miss that. This song is about that night and to the many nights like that in the future when we can out again! “
