- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Tertia is the third album from the post-rock instrumental New England band
Caspian, whose marriage of raw power and delicate beauty has drawn
comparisons to the works of like-minded indie acts Explosions in the Sky and
Mogwai.
Tertia, to be released September 15, 2009, features 10 tracks, loaded with
intricate, heavily layered guitar melodies and awe-inspiring soundscapes that
flow nearly flawlessly together. Tertia contains plenty of mystifying
melodies and mountainous crescendos much similar to their previous releases,
You Are The Conductor (2005) and The Four Trees (2007), yet seems to go a
step further, adding more diversified layers and variety to the songs. Songs
on Tertia often change pace and contain a much broader range of beats and
melodies. These additions make the 7-9 minute long tracks much more
entertaining, avoiding issues like the sometimes monotonous and boring
moments in their previous release. Even the track La Cerva from their split
with The Constants breathes new life.
Caspian possess a keen ability to create vividly illustrated stories without
the use of a single word, spoken or sung, in their music. Instead, the band
chooses to create their stories through pure instrumentation. The same holds
true for this album, which open with a whisper and ends with a snarlingly
epic conclusion. Perhaps the theme of the album is an ideal reflection of
Caspian themselves, a band that insists on finding its own way and settles
for nothing less than instrumental perfection. With their third magnificent
release, Tertia, the agenda of the newly surfaced Caspian is now clear: to
create wonderfully artistic instrumental music combined with intriguing
storylines that will make us all stand in awe for years to come.
