FIRST NEW MUSIC FROM THE BELOVED POST-ROCK OUTFIT IN SIX YEARS; LISTEN TO “REMAIN” HERE

BROOKLYN & BOSTON PERFORMANCES THIS DECEMBER

Caspian is back. Following a six-year recording hiatus, the acclaimed post-rock band from Beverly, Mass. returns with their sixth album, Caspian, out Oct. 16 via Wax Bodega.

The stirring introduction to the next chapter in Caspian’s career is “Remain,” a sweeping nine-minute study in tension and release. A visually rich short film (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQ0tbSmOiXE) created by Luke Webster Brown and Elijah Sussman accompanies the track’s arrival.

“Our sixth full length album isn’t particularly uncharted sonic territory for the band but rather a process of self-discovery and coming to terms with the decisions we’ve made and the people we are,” Philip Jamison explains. “Caspian revives musical pledges established over 22 years ago, forgotten somewhere along the way but rediscovered here, hopefully, in the form of structural simplicity, approachable melodic sensibilities and being ruthlessly direct as possible with our own emotions. In a culture that shows no signs of slowing down, we find these core tenants more important than ever and it’s our hope that they’re put to the best use we are collectively capable of. We did this record for the 5 of us.”

The band recorded the 39-minute, six-song album in the spring of this year with producer Brett Romnes (Hot Mulligan, The Movielife), drawing from the musical vocabulary the band spent two decades developing while resisting the urge to reinvent themselves for reinvention’s sake. Evocative melodies, dense textures, swelling crescendos, and crushing heaviness remain central to Caspian’s sound, but on Caspian, the band finds new possibilities within those familiar contours, letting patience, repetition, and instinct carry as much weight as surprise.

Album pre-orders, including several limited-edition vinyl variants and CDs, are available now: https://waxbodega.com/collections/caspian.

A pair of U.S. tour performances have been simultaneously announced, with Caspian playing Dec. 3 at Saint Vitus (Brooklyn) and Dec. 4 at The Paradise (Boston). Tickets are on-sale this Friday at 12 noon eastern via Caspian.band. A UK/EU tour precedes the U.S. outings, with the band launching the two-week tour on Oct. 15.
