Cassowary

Cassowary is the sound of contemporary Los Angeles, a sun-baked collision of the local flavours making the world cooler and stranger. This melting pot of influences is evident on She Funked Me, a twisted post-disco haze and the 24-year-old multi-instrumentalist’s Fat Possum debut.

The artist, born Miles Shannon, is a formidable tenor sax player and a graduate of the prestigious Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. His recording debut was nothing short of playing piano on Earl Sweatshirt’s landmark 2015 depression suite I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside.
