Not Just Pretty Words (EP)

Casey Noel’s timeless, captivating music will remind you of the many ways songs can enrich a life. A skilled singer-songwriter crystallizes the grace of a moment, honors and beautifies sadness, gives wings to something tender, something fun – something longing for flight. Casey’s work, gathered for the first time on her Americana-tinged debut release Not Just Pretty Words, does all of the above and more. 

Casey Noel teamed up with co-producer, Doug Williams of ElectroMagnetic Radiation Recorders to create a sonic environment that veers seamlessly from uptempo country (“Pretty Words,” “The Hang Up”), to timeless, swampy folk (the Where the Crawdads Sing-inspired story-song “Marsh Girl”), to rockin’ country pop (“You and Me,” “Prove Me Wrong”) and prophetic, stripped-down balladry (“Seasons”). With Casey’s voice and acoustic guitar as focal points, the arrangements percolate with a driving rhythm section, lush harmonies, mandolin and fiddle, and unusual touches like spookily atmospheric bowed bass. Many colors, multiple soundscapes, but one intention: to touch listeners where they live, in their hearts.

“My favorite music makes me feel things deeply,” Casey says. “And I want people to be able to feel things from my songs. That’s my goal.”

With Not Just Pretty Words, Casey has definitely achieved that benchmark, and then some. Helped along by the generosity and faith of true believers, her artistry is now itself a generous act, offering listeners opportunities to connect to depths they may not even know are there, until Casey Noel, singer-songwriter, leads the way.
