CASSELS - Tracked In Mud - LP - 'Mud-Spattered' Eco Mix Vinyl [MAR 7]

LP - Limited Edition 'Mud-Spattered' Eco Mix Vinyl housed in a stunning sleeve, with poly-lined inners and a double-sided insert.  

Human Worth are proud to present the astounding new album ‘Tracked In Mud’ from London duo Cassels, releasing 7th March 2025 with a portion of proceeds donated to charity.

‘Tracked In Mud’ comes three years after the duo’s critically acclaimed album ‘A Gut Feeling’. Close to burnout from heavy touring, the brothers Beck returned to their Harringay warehouse practice space. Jim, tired of his last record’s overtures at pop culture, got very into Converge. New songs came: heavy, and weird.

Gone are the sharp-tongued character sketches, replaced with a heady cocktail of philosophy and body horror. Ditched, too, are the flirtations with mid-aughts indie rock and electro. On ‘Tracked in Mud’, we’re treated to something bigger. Wilder. More...elemental. This is a record about humanity’s disconnection from nature, after all.

When the time was right, the Becks brought in Alex Petersen – aka Nyquist Noise, aka avant-rock demiurge Vincent Vocoder Voice – to produce the new record, for the first time since their debut EP. After two weeks of isolation, the three emerged with ‘Tracked In Mud’: a soundtrack to life in the final days of an arrogant, technocratic hellscape.

Ushered in by the honking of geese, punctuated by field noise, ‘Tracked In Mud’ is an album at odds with society, routine, and other man-made things. It bludgeons you with boulders, invites you to float like mist across meadows choked with weeds – presenting a thrilling vision of what heavy music can be.

Brighton-based charitable label Human Worth have pressed up a limited edition run of Eco-Mix Vinyl, packed in a stunning sleeve with luxurious reverse board outers, heavyweight insert and poly-lined inners, with 10% of all proceeds donated to community food hub and distribution network The Hornbeam Centre.
