For the past decade, Caspian have tried to look beyond the typical sparkle-and-combust dynamics, and their 2012 LP Waking Season was a culmination of an evolution from dutiful EITS/Mogwai replication into a patient and princely sound worthy of their name. On the title track from their new EP, Hymn for the Greatest Generationùthe Massachusetts band's first release since the August death of bassist Chris FriedrichùCaspian continue to the most regal of the instrumental rock new school. It's gentle and melodic without resorting to the usual lattices of delayed guitar, heavy without stomping on the distortion pedal right when you'd expect, seven minutes of confident build and recession rich with melody and motion. I wouldn't call it post-rock, eitherù"Hymn for the Greatest Generation" is a rock song, albeit an unusually gorgeous one." - Track List ---------------------------------------------------------------- - 01.
