Suffolk Alternative-Pop riser Caswell releases the hotly anticipated debut album Break/Bleed/Bloom. Blending elements of downtempo electronica, ethereal deampop and indie musicality with pop and EDM sensibilities, Caswell brings a sonic intelligence and melodic clarity which sets her music apart. Lush, immersive and emotive, the album showcases how well formed Caswell’s sonic identity across its 9 tracks.
Honest lyricism, atmospheric electronics, and driving bass and drums form the backbone of the album, with Caswell’s tender yet commanding vocal pulling each track forward through instantly repeatable melodies. The record moves fluidly between moods—at times intense and danceable, at others melancholic and understated—always retaining a subtle musicality. From the opener Your Type, which swells from ambient beginnings into a driving wall of bass and synth, to the stripped-back emotion of Written To Die, the haunting ambient beauty of Dorko Boda, the moody ‘My Bed’ with Passion Parade, and the floating alt-pop shimmer of Final Call, the album is varied, immaculately produced, and yet affectingly raw and real.
Speaking about the album Caswell explains: “Break/Bleed/Bloom is a collection of nine songs, split into three chapters: Break, Bleed, and Bloom.
Break is about friction – those moments when something stops working and you have no choice but to change it. Bleed is the mourning period that follows, but also the release and healing that comes with it. Bloom is the beginning again: hope, optimism, self-exploration, before the cycle inevitably repeats.
For me, this album is about leaning into endings instead of rushing past them. We live in a world that tells us to keep producing, achieving and moving forward, but I wanted to show the power in allowing things to die. That’s where the real growth happens.
It was written over three years, giving us the time and space to really live with the songs while living life. Collaborating with my long-time live band and producers kept it super authentic and organic too, and we’re so excited to finally share it with the world, before the next creative cycle begins.”
Known for her magnetic stage presence, Caswell first grabbed attention by winning a nationwide competition to support Ed Sheeran, performing for 40,000 fans on his Divide tour. She’s since lit up stages at major festivals including the likes of Reading & Leeds, Latitude, and Bearded Theory, each performance showcasing her ability to balance the softness of her sound with undeniable stage energy.
Beyond the stage her music has graced the airwaves of BBC Radio 1, BBC 1xtra, and BBC Radio 6 Music and gained press support across the likes of Clash, Dork, C-Heads, Notion, Wonderland, The Line of Best Fit, and Record of The Day. Following television features on BBC and ITV, and a sync placement on ‘This Morning’, Caswell also has a co-writing credit on the Top 10 German radio hit ‘All I Need’ with Michael Schulte.
With her debut album, Caswell continues to establish herself as an exciting rising talent.
