Soothing and delicate, ‘English Fables, Vol.1’ still retains a charmingly playful character, wrapping the listeners in witty and quirky storytelling – the kind of storytelling that’s packed with wisdom and personal experience. Johnno Casson (also known as ‘Snippet’) is the talented human behind the album; hailing from England, he boasts a past in some of the industry’s most exciting bands.
‘English Fables, Vol.1’ is perhaps the fruit of his long-time commitment to music and the community around him. A keen observer of human nature, Casson collects tales of quintessential English life, likely acquired over the course of his own eclectic existence. Sonically, there’s a bit of everything in there, from funk, groove-ridden gems (‘Ink’) to folky acoustic ballads (‘The Little Things’), passing through more electronic offerings (the colourful ‘Funny Habits’).
In essence, Johnno uses music as a blank canvas for his impactful storylines, finding the right sonic dress for any occasion. Speaking about the record, Casson explains: “This album feels like it is about me, about you, about people we know and those we don’t and the challenges we all face in different ways”.
