Caspian - The Four Trees

I haven't posted in a while, but whatever. Caspian is an awesome post-rock/shoegaze band from Beverly, Massachusetts. This album is full of "crushingly beautiful melodies" and each song will leave you breathless. Most of the songs have the same characteristics: slow, quiet, usually ambient introductions, but build up to incredible summits, usually incorporating more solid, heavy rhythms to compliment the percussive and booming percussion. For fans of Sigur Ros, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and Explosions in the Sky. Download now.
