Cast live at the Forum, London
Cast were in London on March 15th.
Cast played The Forum last week as part of the UK tour in support of their recently released new album Love Is The Call, summed up by Live4ever in our review as being, ‘stuffed with psychedelic pop tunes’:
“In his recent interview with Live4ever, John Power – singer, songwriter and guitarist – declared he had considered what made debut records so exciting; namely the galvanizing energy from what could be the only chance to make an impression,” the review reads.
“Mission accomplished: there have been other moments in the past (such as 2017’s Do That) but on Love Is The Call, Cast appear to have more intent than at any other point this century.”
“Albeit not initially. The low-fi Bluebird, consisting just of Power and acoustic, opens the album with the Liverpudlian’s voice mildly weathered and thus with added gravitas.”
It’s a slight but sweet track before the rest of the band come into view – less with a bang than a march – on Forever And A Day, as Keith O’Neill (who has always shared more with Mr Moon than a forename) swings and stomps, with lyrics of self-doubt (‘I’m running round on empty dreams’) before positivity wins out (‘You’ve got a smile on your face again’).
