Dust and Disquiet
Triple Crown
2015
Rating: 7.5 headphone planets out of 10
I honest to god couldn't tell you much of anything that sets Caspian apart from Explosions in the Sky or Mono or This Will Destroy You or <insert the name of other post-rock band here>, but I can tell you it sounds totally fuckin' great. They do occasionally sing, and I mean very occasionally, so that's one small difference. Maybe a little more piano in their music? that's total speculation. They do the whole quiet-loud-quiet thing as well as anyone. I recently saw them perform live on the tour for this record, and it was outstanding. As with all of these bands, this is much better when listened to through headphones...jamming it through your car radio while cruising down the freeway, you're going to lose a lot of the nuance. This is definitely worth a listen though, regardless of format.
