Caspian
CASPIAN
Das Genre – (Instrumental) Post Rock kann sich derzeit nicht über mangelndes Interesse beschweren und auch die Menge der Bands scheint täglich zu wachsen. Da tut es gut, wenn sich eine Band wie Caspian aus Boston aufmacht, dem Genre neue Impulse hinzuzufügen. Natürlich können auch sie Soundteppiche knüpfen und Soundtrackelemente oder Wall of Sound Elemente finden sich ebenfalls in den oft sehr langen Songs wieder. Was es aber ausmacht, ist die komplexe Melodieführung, die Abwechlung im Sound, der stringente Song/Album- Aufbau und der dringende Wunsch ein komplettes/homogenes Album zu kreieren, das dem Hörer in seiner Gesamtheit etwas bedeutet und nicht nur als zerpflückte One Hit Wiedergabeliste im MP3 Player funktioniert.

English summary:
When drowning in the appropriate sound, you find yourself achieving the same fundamental effects in your soul as coming up for air has on the body. Caspian is that appropriate sound. An instumental rock band from Beverly, Massachusetts formed in Autumn of 2003, these four young men have crafted a sound that is immediately riveting, emotionally devastating, and achingly passionate. Characterized by towering walls of sound, oceanic guitar work and vicious rythymic elements, Caspian is a band that knows how to imbed itself within the part of you that refuses to easily surrender. Take a walk around the bands home co-ordinates and you might find some clues. Tan stretches of sand and the infinite blue horizon of the Atlantic might be bigger influences here than anything else. The jam packed seasonal cycle might explain the bands desire to cover everything from gentle and placid to furious and destructive, all while maintaining a unified musical sensibility, and a fierce sense of adventure. Live in an area like this and you’re bound to create something hopeful, inspiring and downright massive. Caspian wants to bring you to places like this and to places we all havent seen yet. Let them take you. For friends of: Explosions In The Sky, Mogwai, Pelican. „Caspian is a rockband from Beverly. Nobody sings“.
