I saw Godspeed again and they loving closed with East Hastings :psyboom: I've been wanting to hear that song live for like 20 years ever since I first heard it in 28 Days Later. That's the song that got me into them. Life = complete.

e: More specifically The Sad Mafioso... section of East Hastings

Aww, I like On Circles. I just listened to it again the other day. It's not my personal favorite album of theirs, but it's still very good IMO. And this live version of Wildblood is phenomenal:

The one I didn't care much for was Dust & Disquiet tbh, so I was glad that I really enjoyed On Circles after that.

I saw Caspian last night in NYC and it was a magical experience. They played for 70 minutes.

Arcs of Command exploded the room like nothing I’ve ever experienced.

I swear the air around the band was quivering with electricity.

Holy moly what a night
:hellyeah:

I'm jealous. The last time I saw them was in 2017. That time ruled, though, and they played Arcs of Command then too. I wish I could hear them play some of the tracks from On Circles live.

It didn't get posted ITT yet but Caspian's On Circles: The Complete Sessions, which I believe was previously a vinyl-only release, is now on streaming services as of a few days ago. It features new album art and a reordered tracklist with 3 new tracks, Nagoya, Barfly and Vortices.

I like these new tracks but don't love them. Vortices is definitely my favorite of the bunch. I think the original tracklist is more to my liking and that the album starts off on a much stronger note when it opens with Wildblood. Still, it's neat to be able to listen to this since I don't currently have a way to play vinyl.

Absolutely. Have you heard the version from the acoustic album they put out this year? Death Cab + strings works really well.

I have! Though I think I prefer the regular version of that album. I only just listened to the acoustic this afternoon and it was while I was focused on work. I should give it a second chance.
Yeah, I prefer the regular version as well, but it's still cool to hear those songs translated to a different environment like that. That album is my favorite thing Death Cab have put out in 15 years easily.

Houston show is on my birthday! I'm not super familiar with either of those bands. Where should I start?
I don't believe either band has a bad album, so you can really pick any of their albums and be good to go. Looking at Caspian's recent setlists, they've been playing stuff from most of their discography. Same goes for ASIWYFA.

My favorite Caspian album is probably still Tertia, which has Sycamore, the song they close most of their sets with and one of the sickest closers I've ever had the pleasure of seeing live. And as for ASIWYFA, my favorite of theirs is probably Heirs, but like I said, you can't really go wrong with any of them.

I spent today listening to ASIWYFA's entire discography. It's mostly fantastic, with their latest Jettison being the only one I wasn't into as much. That one sounds more like a film score than a proper ASIWYFA album, which isn't bad, but I just connected to the proper ASIWYFA albums way more. It's got strings and spoken word passages in addition to their regular sound. Even on Jettison, though, there's elements of what makes those other albums of theirs great. They're just not as pronounced IMO.

hatelull, if you're still looking for a place to start with them, I'd suggest any of their albums except for Jettison. They even have a live album that sounds killer, if you want to hear what to expect from the show in the summer.

Jettison isn't a film score but it is part of an audio visual bit of art rather than a proper album isn't it?

I may well have pulled that out of my arse I dunno I'm just posting waiting for Jeff Rosenstock to come on
Oh maybe. This is my first time listening to it and I know nothing about the background of the album.

In any case, I found it to be their weakest.
