CASPIAN - new 6 track EP HYMN FOR THE GREATEST GENERATION
The US post-rock band Caspian, currently on tour in Europe supporting HIM, will release the 6 track EP HYMN FOR THE GREATEST GENERATION on November 8, 2013, which the band describes as follows.
"Hymn for The Greatest Generation" is, in many ways, an epilogue to the story that Waking Season presented a year ago. A companion piece that functions as both a final word and a re-affirmation of purpose for the music of Caspian. Un-apologetically intentional string arrangements merged with the simplicity of the band's signature emotional songwriting, "Hymn..." forges into fresh territory while retaining narrative elements that people have come to know as vintage Caspian. "The Heart That Fed" uses elements of fan contributions in the form of original music box melodies and reimagines them into a darker, reflective and more ponderous original composition. Rather than using these submissions as direct source material, the band treats them more as artifacts - dug up, repurposed and refashioned to enable the creation of an original piece that bleeds intensity and heart.
WARNING – the EP is available as VINYL only (white vinyl, gatefold, including download code) exclusively in the label's webstore www.makemydayrecords.de and can be pre-ordered now for 14.00 (plus shipping). (later 16.00). It is also available digitally from your trusted online retailer.
