Stream Caspian’s Cinematic ‘Hymn for the Greatest Generation’ EP

caspian, hymn for the greatest generation

Caspian lost a band member earlier this year with the sudden and tragic passing of bassist Chris Friedrich, but the post-rock outfit are pressing on with a new tour and EP, Hymn for the Greatest Generation. Due November 11 via Triple Crown Records, the upcoming effort features three new impeccably crafted songs (the title track, “The Heart That Fed,” and “CMF”), a demo version of “High Lonesome,” a fuzzed-over gem from last year’s Waking Season LP, and remixes of two other Waking Season highlights (“Procellous,” done by Arms and Sleepers, and “Halls of the Summer,” reinterpreted by Lazerbreak).

Hymn for the Greatest Generation is, in many ways, an epilogue to the story that Waking Season presented a year ago,” says Caspian guitarist Phil Jamieson. “A companion piece that functions as both a final word and a re-affirmation of purpose for the music of Caspian.”
