Caspian, an American post-rock band from Beverly, Massachusetts, has released a new music video for their song “Castles High, Marble Bright”. This song was from their fourth album called Dust & Disquiet.
This eleven minute clip was directed by Ryan Mackfall and produced by Crashburn Media. With the help of Mackfall, the band hoped to depict how their European tour, that was held last August, felt like. This was done through narrations, scenes of nature and scenes of the band’s performance. The band also hopes to show their creative side. As the video continues showing scenes of the adventures that the band took during the tour, the new song’s instrumental beats play along, adding an emotional atmosphere to the video. The video can be watched below.
From Consequence of Sound, the band’s frontman, Phillip Jamieson had said the following statement:
“Castles High, Marble Bright” was conceived, written and recorded alongside the collection of songs that would become Dust and Disquiet, an album that we hoped spoke to the dialogue between a newly found, furrow browed melancholy and the fractured but unbroken sense of stubbornly epic, dramatically determined optimism that we’ve been trying to emulate with our music for 12 years. Hopefully we captured a bit of both. Looking back it feels like we captured the former, but “Castles…” speaks exclusively and entirely to the latter. With the end of this album cycle vaguely coming into sight, “Castles High, Marble Bright” is now our North Star, our way home, and our celebration of the decision to fully embrace the above dialogue head on together and see what comes. To the 6 of us, it’s an ode to adventure and all we hope is that it compliments or inspires one inside of you.”
In the beginning of this year, Caspian had been planned to appear and perform at Pukkelpop with several other artists like M83 and LCD Soundsystem.
