Description
Experimental post-rock sextet Caspian, active since 2003, stacks multiple guitar and synth textures in billowing layers. At times, their songs take more than seven minutes to fully develop: Sprawling pieces like "Castles High, Marble Bright" from the eponymous 2016 EP build tension with guitar harmonies that weave in and out of dissonance before unraveling into a cathartic release. On Circles, Caspian's latest album since their five-year hiatus, diverges from their epic, guitar-laden foundations, introducing new instrumentation and cyclical song forms while retaining their focus on visceral impact. Caspian will headline at Felton Music Hall this Tuesday.
