On February 12th, West Hartford’s Cassie’s Crutch released their much anticipated, self-titled debut album. When I say much anticipated, I mean by me (I don’t care what my dad or Neil DeGrasse Tyson says, the universe revolves around me). Their first two singles, “Entropy” and “Sunshine and Grey,” struck a poppy, indie rock chord with featuring smooth guitar play that you all know I’m a complete sucker for. On Cassie’s Crutch though, what I found was unexpected.

There’s a lot to enjoy about new comers Cassie’s Crutch. The West Hartford band’s new single, aptly titled “Sunshine and Grey,” plays with tone, pace, and even features the bells and a violin.
