Caspian (us)

Styly: post rock

Caspian (USA – Post-Rock/Instrumen­tal)

Caspian pochází z Beverly (Massachusetts, USA); prostě kousek od Bostonu. Do zpěvu jim nikdy nebylo a tak podobně jako jiné post-rockové kapely vystavěly svou existenci na ryze instrumentálním základě. S posluchači a hlasitostí si nikdy nedělali moc starostí. Jejich hudba je pro hluk a hlasitou reprodukci jako stvořená. Neznamená to, že u Caspian se nedočkáte klidných pasáží. Jsou však spíše předehrou, přípravou na neskutečnou jízdu končící někde za hranicemi extáze a katarze.

Caspian za sebou mají nahrané 2 EP, 1 LP a nějaké ty kolaborace.V roce 2005 nahráli své první EP - You Are the Conductor. Krátké, svižné úderné. V roce 2006 jim pak vychází další Tour EP. V roce 2007 přicházejí s bombastickým albem The Four Trees. Deska, která srazila na kolena nejednoho posluchače a recenzenta. Nevěříte?

V současné chvíli tvoří Caspian:
- Philip Jamieson (guitar, programming, loops)
- Calvin Joss (guitar, glockenspiel, loops)
- Erin Burke-Moran (guitar)
- Chris Friedrich (bass guitar)
- joe vickers (drums)
- Burke-Moran (přišel do kapely po vydání The Four Trees).

Constants (us)

Styly: indie

Constants is an entity truly built from the ground up. “I learned how to record music with a
computer, so we started with that. When it came time to put out a record, we had to start a
record label,” explains Constants Will Benoit. “When we started five years ago, we were trying
to write really angular music: lots of odd meters with really percussive guitars and bass.”

Now, the members of Constants don’t try to do anything, they just are who they are. The songs on “The Foundation, the Machine, the Ascension ” sound mature. Focused. Effortless.
After three raw, eager early releases the band has finally come into its own: Benoit, along with
bassist Orion Wainer and drummer Rob Motes, has fine-tuned his band’s distinct energy
and youthful ambition into a signature sound that is Constants and Constants alone.
Rigorous touring has been a key element to the development of the band’s sound and
fanbase, often mistaken for a local band from the next city over because they tour through so
frequently. “We bought a school bus, converted it to run on waste vegetable oil, and toured
for almost a year straight.”
Now, nearly 3 years since its conception, “The Foundation, the Machine, the Ascension”, the
new three part epic by Constants is finally complete. Partially recorded by Daryl Rabidoux
(The Cancer Conspiracy, Irepress, Paulson) and mastered by Nick Zampiello (Torche, ISIS,
Jesu), The album begins by exploring the highest highs and lowest lows of the artists
involved.

“I think this record is less abstract that other things we’ve done in the past. It’s still
out there and more of that will be explored with artwork and animations, but this time, it feels
more personal, there are still elements of mysticism present, but the focus this time is on selfunderstanding, better song writing and – to keep it angular – our own definitions of reality.”
“The music casts a spell on the listener who will have a hard time trying to escape this trio’s
beauty. Great melodies, fragile sounds and wonderful vocals paint a picture which, in most
cases, only established greats are able to offer.” - The Metal Observer

Members: Will Benoit, Orion Wainer, Rob Motes
