I Am Casting is a project helmed by Cole Guerra. After touring in support of last album, Scarves &amp; Knives, Cole disappeared from the music landscape, only recently re-emerging with new music. I Am Casting was adopted as the artist name for the project, highlighting the focus on characters (including &#8220;bad actors&#8221;), hinting at the music&#8217;s cinematic and theatrical elements, and more flexibly setting an expectation that the musical approach might change from scene to scene, album to album.
​I Am Casting&#8217;s debut album is called Carnival Barkers. Sitting atop textured arrangements are lyrics shaped to a considerable degree by the political landscape of the time — songs about manipulation, about predators and clowns, about appeals to fear and anger and tribe.
