A suave blend of soulful rock and modern Americana appeals on “Little Brick House,” an engaging new single from Washington, DC-based band Cass & the Sass. Cassidy Marie’s vocals are a standout element throughout, seamlessly building with chilled-out intrigue with smitten sentiments — yearning “just for you to be mine, and for me to be yours.” A sweltering guitar solo hits at the two-minute mark, invoking a bluesy soulfulness as Cassidy’s vocals continue the “want us to be together,” aspirations.
Recorded in one take, the track’s easy-flowing vibe and adoring lyrical prowess combine for a thorough earworm from the act. Rock, Americana, soul, R&B, and bossa-nova inspirations converge with tasteful cohesion. Also featuring guitarist Graham Horman, bassist Lawrence Langley, and drummer Ryan Usumi — who channels a bossa-nova serenity in its playing — the project excels on this track. Look out for their upcoming releases and performances across the DC area.
