Caspian, who recently played a pair of sold out shows at the historic Cabot Theatre in the band’s hometown of Beverly, Mass., share a video of their first live performance of Flowers of Light. Check out the video clip via YouTube below.
The footage arrives as the band has added a new leg to their North American tour, with the first of the band’s Summer 2020 live plans revealed:
June 1 Ferndale, MI The Loving Touch
June 2 Grand Rapids, MI The Pyramid Scheme
June 5 Chicago, IL Lincoln Hall
June 6 St. Paul, MN Turf Club
June 8 Denver, CO Bluebird Theatre
Tickets for these dates are on-sale now. A premium package, including a ticket, exclusive patch and signed poster is also available via Caspian.band.
‘On Circles,’ the band’s fifth album and first release in over four years, will be out on Jan. 24 via Triple Crown Records. Album pre-orders, which include a highly limited 180 gram black vinyl variation as well as a green/blue vinyl offering, are available now via the Triple Crown Records’ webstore (https://store.triplecrownrecords.com/oncircles).
The eight-song album was recorded at Studio 4 in Conshohocken, Pa. by producer Will Yip (Code Orange, Defeater, Quicksand, Turnstile), ‘On Circles‘ marks the most organic writing and recording sessions in Caspian’s 15-year history. Together for four weeklong songwriting sessions, the band opted for music gleaming with visceral impact instead of over-thought tangles, over-arching concepts and drawn-out crescendos.

Caspian have released four albums: ‘The Four Trees’ (2007), ‘Tertia’ (2009), ‘Walking Season’ (2012) and ‘Dust and Disquiet’ (2015). Since the Beverly, Mass.-based band’s inception, they’ve earned accolade upon accolade for their sweeping, cinematic music. 2015’s ‘Dust and Disquiet’ was hailed by Noisey as “the life-affirming soundtrack you need in your life,” Brooklyn Vegan exclaimed “eardrums will be blown and jaws will be dropped” upon hearing the 10-song release, while Spin described the sextet’s output as “epic, wordless orchestral swells on the lush, layered, and crushingly pretty.” Caspian is Philip Jamieson (guitar/keyboards), Erin Burke-Moran (guitar), Jonny Asburn (guitar), Jani Zubkovs (bass), Calvin Joss (guitar) and Justin Forrest (drums).
