Hi there.
Casey (singer) here.
So glad you made it to our TH-cam. In the spirit of our totally-indie vibe, I figured I'd use this description spot to introduce myself and the band.
We've been making our oddball brand of indie music together for over a decade, and have just about the coolest, most down-to-earth community of fans out there.
Feel free to just click through the Tube, but if you find yourself lost, here are some good places to start...

Under the Rug :: hangin around with you :: Live in the Living Room
♡ hangin around with you ♡
(my first love song)
either the love song is the most difficult song form to do well or I’ve had some kind of thirty-year-old mental block that decided to finally resign its infuriating post as my tormenter.
both possible?
Something clicked, though. The hurdle was always a campiness: where do you take a story that more or less says, “I found what I’m looking for and now I have it thank you very much the end?”
This is how it happened:
Over the last few years I found myself so in love with my childhood sweetheart and she, washing her hair in the shower, looked up through a tangle of suds and asked, “are you ever going to write a song about me?”
I laughed that I’d like to, but writing love songs for me is like one of those dreams where you try to scream but it comes out a whisper.
Then I left for Ruidoso (thoughts to the little mountain town, which is currently recovering from an awful fire) to record something new, and, facetiming her from my cabin bed, realized how seldom we actually get to spend time with each other anymore-she, with her hair hanging and pole dancing and contortion and whatever other circus-craziness she does, and me with my tours and albums.
I’m so thankful for my life and where it’s taken me, but I do miss just kind of aimlessly, well, hanging around with her.
And then it hit me. I’d been fundamentally misunderstanding the idea of love song as form.
What in life is as simple as getting it, the thing you want. You’ve found a relationship you love, but how do you enjoy it? How do you live it? When is there not a negotiation for how, or if, you get to keep it?
Maybe love songs are less about the love itself and more about the longing for the love. If you don’t mind another reduction: maybe every good story is about a character longing for someone or something?
And so I ended up with this, my first love song, its chorus dreaming of getting to see her again (but in a minor key). Longing, wanting to feel seen, understood, together, but from a distance. It feels like something you might be able to understand…
twd, case

LYRICS
save me
a seat the table and
maybe
i will just make it
oh baby
before what you order
for us gets cold
sweet bean
I know that this life is
so crazy
and both of us want to
be lazy
there’s nothing like staying at home,
hanging around
hanging around
with you
hate me
hit me or argue or blame me
anything but how you
praise me
no matter the things that I do
what does it make me
now none of my demons can
shake me?
they’re just faraway noise while i’m
tracing
the outlines or your bad tattoo
hanging around
hanging around
hanging around
with you

⋆.˚ ☾ .⭒˚ hi …the first time we played this song live, we did so unrehearsed at a little festival in the midwest. I could tell the audience knew the song meant something to me, but it’s taken me until now to consider talking about it in a 1:1 way. we’ve decided to make it a single, though, last-minute, and to the chagrin of some of our counsel who insist there are much poppier songs to highligh...

hi all-so happy to finally release this. it's a homage to one of our favorite poets, Sylvia Plath. I wish we could have used all of her words from the original poem, but, because of copyright silliness, we wrote a song inspired by it instead with a few referenced lines. we tried to keep the feeling as close to the original as possible, though, and hope you all feel it honors her appropriately! ...

Am I Waiting For Something Later? I wake up in a warm bed, I toast a frozen waffle, I write, I work late, and then I start over. My family texts, an old friend calls.

Thank you for reminding me so magnificently with this song, to remember to enjoy life! I'm sharing this one , to remind my friends and family to remember to laugh and enjoy as much of life as it allows! Your instrumental, and vocal performances were really emotionally powerful. Your timing always amazes, it's like you know just the right time to switch it up to bring out the power of a song. And the three of you do it so well together. I know that smile says to me y'all are enjoying the magic you're making with this song.
I am absolutely mesmerized by Under the Rug, the vocals and voice control, the guitar, the unique sound, the lyrics. And that lipstick is perfect too.

Beautiful song, beautiful music video, and beautiful singer! I was so hyped for this song and it's accompanying music video, and neither disappointed!
🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
I've literally had this on repeat since it dropped! I think I've sent it to all my contacts on all socials! Plus she's beautiful so that's a hell to the yeah!
Finally a video for the song that drew me to this band in the first place!!! Love it!!!! Y'all are amazing!
I've listened to this so many times since I posted my last comment on it. 😂 I randomly start singing it throughout my day. So awesome!
Thank you so so much for putting this on Spotify!!! It’s absolutely beautiful! ❤❤❤
The wait is over! So happy to see this posted! This song was for me, like many, my introduction to your music. Thank you instagram algorithm. And thank you UTR for being the first band I’ve been excited about and felt connected to in awhile! So glad to see you guys gaining the momentum you deserve!
**shrill monroe**
Y’all have been one of my absolute favorite bands since I came across your page on instagram a while ago, your music means so much to me and seeing other trans creators gives me so much hope for myself. Keep making amazing stuff❤️
God this is just so good! You guys are one of my favorite bands! Thank you for the amazingly beautiful music. Keep up the awesome work!
Casey is my #girlcrush 😅
Brilliant video! Gonna share this far and wide... well, as much as I can :)
You're songs made me buy a mandolin :))) love you!!! I hope one day you will come to Europe as well 🌠💜
Casey’s voice drew me in - stayed for the vibe and awesome music!
Her voice is so pretty! And I love how she sings the bit at 1:14, going from that higher pitched tone to a deeper more "strong" sounding one (idk musical terms). Such a smooth transition and scratches some sorta itch in my brain
Understand me and the way that I am obsessed with this song. In love. 💜
Love, love love! ❤❤❤
I've had this on repeat since it came out! Amazing work, guys and gal! Also I'm obsessed with Casey, she is breathtakingly beautiful! 😍🖤
