Caspian - On Circles (2020) EN

Of course I don't have to introduce this band to anyone. The Americans released their 5th album recently and proved their the absolute top of the world's post-rock scene. If somebody hasn't listened to it yet, it's time for On Circles.

It's undoubtedly a flirt with chaos. It's where the first track, Wildblood, emerges from, it's what lurks somewhere under the layer of guitar melodies appearing in quite electronic form in Flowers of Light, or in the post-hardcore in Nostalgist, and finally, it's what inspires awe with the grandeur and monumentality in Onsra and in my favourite Collapser.

Similarly to what We Lost the Sea did, the Americans enriched their album with a song that involves vocals and is quite far from the rest of the album climatically and genre-esquelly speaking. The singer here is Kyle Durfey, the vocalist of Pianos Become the Teeth, whose probably more associated with post-hardcore screaming by many people, here showed some lyricism. Another great guest here is also the fantastic Jo Quail with her cello. Solid stuff.
