Casino

On 'Casino', Australian artist Richard Sallis revisits and reimagines songs written during a period of teenage homelessness and heartbreak, exploring themes of depression and hope through intimate storytelling. The album's art-rock and progressive-pop sound is defined by grand, cinematic arrangements, with production utilizing church acoustics to create an expansive sonic palette for orchestral strings, horns, and organs. This approach preserves the raw emotion of the original compositions while elevating them with mature, complex instrumentation performed by a full ensemble.
