Caspian on Audiotree Live (Full Session #2)

Caspian is a heavy post-rock band whose fourth full-length “Dust And Disquiet” showcases the band’s evolved songwriting prowess. They’ve been reinventing their own take on patient, crescendoing, layered rock music since 2005 and “Dust And Disquiet” is the band’s crown jewel. It contains the heaviest tracks Caspian has ever released, as well as their most laid back. They’ve broken the post-rock mold by introducing gripping guttural screams, an acoustic folk ballad, and crooning trumpet within its ten track journey. The record’s emotional range is startlingly vast; it takes the listener from crippling sadness to riotous anger to energetic joy over the course of an hour. The cover’s simple presentation of seven feathers arranged with tips pointing inward on dusty grey-black wood is crafted to reflect the record’s tonal juxtaposition from searing post-metal to weightless cinematic rock. “Dust and Disquiet” is a fully realized album showing a band re-defining their career not just as songwriters, but as storytellers. Watch them perform tracks from the new release here on Audiotree Live.

These guys are absolutely incredible. I just heard them for the first time a few weeks ago when they opened on the Underoath tour, and wow. Just wow. Not only are they all insanely talented musicians, but after talking with them for a little bit, it was obvious that they are all very down-to-earth, genuine guys, who just love playing music. Amazing.

[LAFKO]

This is what we call a FUCKING AMAZING POST-ROCK BAND !

[carlos]

Arrrw, how good is this session - thank you very much Audiotree for the great sound engineering and of course thanks a lot Caspian!

[csamacintyre]

Arcs of Command has the best intro (and payoff) in a post-rock song ever

[stevenceballosfilms]

Such an amazing performance, can't get over how great these guys are!

[terrymattingly]

It's kind of like these guys were, at about age 7, given a copy of Pink Floyd's ECHOES -- and that was that. They took that universe and turned it up to 11. This is a compliment.

Just discovered Caspian glad i did they are so original.

[simonsweeney]

having never heard of them, I'm very glad I watched

[ryanskindastrong]

I still get emotionally moved when I watch and listen to this

[MrSacrifist]

Saw that these guys were touring with a band I love and checked them out.

Holy shit. Instant purchase. Incredible writing, incredible talent.

[nobode]

Saw them open for underoath they were really good live and their lighting was amazing glad I got to see them

[knotchbass]

Abstract and Texture to the this band!!!!

[brndgtl]

Incredible! These guys just get better and better

[ciarrataylor]

Just saw them last night in Los Angeles! "Epic" does not even begin to describe the experience!!!!

[Azgaroth]

Arcs of Command is truly a masterpiece. Gives me chills every time

[Mr.Be]

It's not often you see a band evolve in the "right" direction...I fell in love with Hymn years ago as well as a few others and put Caspian on the shelf since...I've recently discovered them again because I recommended Hymn to a friend and together we listened to more songs...the live performances blow my mind...Sycamore...and Arcs of Command...absolutely destroy me...I can't even describe the feeling to be honest...I have yet to see them live and I hope I can at some point in the not too distant future.

[nizzasreact]

saw them open for Underoath and they really stood out for their own. always incredible band.

[natepaystrup]
