Live at Old South Church

endlessexplosions Very soothing melodies and overall sound.On Sycamore, the crescendo is just mind-blowing. Starting from a riff that sounds so simple yet so beautiful, the layering of the various instruments is so seamlessly done. And that drum circle right at the end is the cherry on the sundae that is this album. Favorite track: Sycamore (live).

John Buehler The best band on Earth. Favorite track: ASA (live).

about

“Live at Old South Church” is a special live recording from Beverly, MA’s Caspian. Originally issued in 2012 on the Mylene Sheath label, this formal reissue on Dark Operative marks the first time it has been in print physically in over 5 years. It is currently available in yellow mix vinyl and limited to 500 units for its initial Dark Operative pressing.

On October 22, 2010, Caspian put on their own benefit concert in Boston, MA with proceeds of the performance going to Amirah, a non-profit organization focusing on whole-person care for survivors of human sexual trafficking. “Live at Old South Church” is a document of that night’s performance, recorded during the band’s touring cycle on the “Tertia” album. It is a mix of songs from “You are the Conductor” (“Last Rites”), “The Four Trees” (“The Dove,” “ASA,”), and “Tertia” (“Concrescence,” “Sycamore”).

As one might imagine, a hometown show in front of a hometown crowd benefitting survivors of such harrowing and traumatic circumstance lends to a performance that fires across all emotional cylinders. “Live at Old South Church” captures Caspian amidst such catharsis and healing, fully encapsulating the confident triumph and jubilant exhilarations found within songs such as “Last Rites” and “ASA” and the delicate, introspective beauty present in the melodies that shape “Sycamore” and “The Dove.” If transcendence is the goal of any given live performance, then mission accomplished.
