From the quiet landscapes of the Southern Highlands emerges a voice forged by decades in the trenches of indie rock and refined in the solitude of the studio. Mark Cassius — known now as Neo-Stereo — creates music that is unflinching, emotive, and boundless.

With more than 25 years of writing, performing, and recording behind him, Cassius first made his mark with cult indie outfit Transit-Inc before stepping into his own as a solo artist. His debut album Nightbird (2023) introduced a sound both raw and cinematic: electro textures colliding with piano, drums, and layered vocal harmonies that pulse with urgency and vulnerability.

The record set the stage for a run of standout singles — Time Has Gone (2024), the soaring Ballerina Girl (2024), the bold Change Your Mind (2025), and his latest, the electrifying Get Up Stand Up (2025). Each release has expanded his palette while deepening his reputation as a songwriter who finds clarity in contradiction: intimacy and grandeur, grit and grace, control and abandon.

Cassius’ partnership with producer Jackson Barclay at The Grove Studios sharpened his craft, but it is in his own home studio where Neo-Stereo thrives — a place where piano, drums, and imagination collide without constraint. What emerges is music at once deeply personal and strikingly universal, the kind that lingers long after the last note fades.

Neo-Stereo is not reinvention but revelation: the sound of experience distilled into melody, a career reborn in the glow of songs that speak directly to the heart.
