Caspian Announce North American and European Tour Dates



Just back from their recent trip to China and Russia for select festival appearances and one off performances, Boston's instrumental-rock juggernaut Caspian have announced a string of headlining September tour dates around the US and Canada, followed by a month of dates in Europe kicking off in early November.

Caspian are currently supporting their critically acclaimed full-length album, Tertia, as well as recent reissues of their fan-approved You Are The Conductor EP and Four Trees full-length.



Caspian live at the Qianyang Music Festival in China

Nothing less than an exemplary and genuinly revelatory excercise in emotionally devastating post-rock. 8/10 - ROCKSOUND

Caspian, a Massachusetts post-rock crew, knows that "epic" doesn't have to mean an album of five 16+ minute songs, and the crew have the melodies to prove it. - BROOKLYN VEGAN

This batch of songs is anchored by brilliant, restless songwriting. No boring twenty-minute crescendos here. Tertia is full of surprises... There's scarcely a better post-rock record on the horizon. 9/10 - PREFIXMAG

Tertia is just as effective when it sparkles as when it storms. Caspian has the instrumental firepower to make a big noise when it feels like it. But the melodies, timbres and harmonics are so fully realized that "Tertia" would be mighty, even without its climaxes. - THE WASHINGTON POST

A dense work of post-rock with purpose. - RHAPSODY
