Music News: Man Overboard's Nik Bruzzese Releases Debut EP From Solo Project, Casa Loma

By Ashley Gallagher

Man Overboard's Nik Bruzzese has released a solo project EP, “This Is Coping.”

Man Overboard's Nik Bruzzese released the debut EP, “This Is Coping,” from his solo project, Casa Loma, on Pure Noise Records.

He said, "it would be wrong of me to put this record out business as usual and pretend like everything is fine with our country. It's not. This record is about pain and loss and helplessness: things we're all feeling right now for one reason or another. But it's also about family and friendship and love: things we need in our lives if we're ever going to fix what's wrong with us."

Is is a six-track EP was recorded in New Jersey and features previously released singles “Travelers” and “Famaglia.”

"I don't want to waste any time, because tomorrow isn't promised," he says. "I wished I had that letter in the desk, you know, 'If you're reading this, I must be dead. Just know that everything is going to be okay," he said.

Across the half-dozen songs of shimmering, saccharine sweet, expansive and atmospheric indie-rock that comprises the debut EP from Casa Loma, Nik's vibrant voice explores loss, longing, and connection.
