Interview with Neo Stereo


Interview with Neo Stereo

Mark Cassius, the mastermind behind Neo Stereo, channels over 25 years of musical brilliance to craft a sound that's both intensely raw and passionately fervent, pushing the boundaries of contemporary indie pop rock music. Following the success of the hit single Bleeding Heart, Neo Stereo returns with Runaway, a compelling track from his highly acclaimed album Night Bird. Runaway is an evocative track that begins with haunting key sounds and rich vocal textures, gradually building with a slow, gentle intensity. The song incorporates a captivating hook synth line, while an electric piano introduces intriguing elements and recurring melodic motifs. This track generates a mood that is simultaneously melancholic and shimmering with alluring yearning. As it progresses, Runaway ascends to cinematic heights, reminiscent of a movie soundtrack, leaving listeners mesmerized by its emotional depth and subtle grandeur. Speaking about the song, Mark shares, 'I wrote the song after seeing multiple clips pop up on social media highlighting the disturbing state of homelessness in our community. It is about being scared and vulnerable but also being strong and independent and finding hope in everyday and building trust with people you may meet along the way.' From his base in the Southern Highlands, NSW, Mark has crafted a sanctuary for music production, where every note, lyric, and beat showcases his unwavering commitment to authentic, soulful music. Runaway is more than just a song; it's an immersive journey into the heart of an artist committed to the true spirit of music. Now available on all major streaming platforms, Runaway invites listeners to experience the profound emotions and powerful messages embedded in Neo Stereo's latest exhilarating work.

My inspiration for music was from a young age surrounded by older cousins right into music so this started me on my own musical quest,its now over 
20 years of writing performing and record music
If you could collaborate with another artist, who would it be?
