Following a six-year recording hiatus, the Post-Rock band Caspian is returning with their sixth album, Caspian, out Oct. 16, 2026, via Wax Bodega.
The song and video for “Remain” have also been released, a nine-minute piece focused on “tension and release.” The short film was created by Luke Webster Brown and Elijah Sussman.
Philip Jamison explains:
Our sixth full length album isn’t particularly uncharted sonic territory for the band but rather a process of self-discovery and coming to terms with the decisions we’ve made and the people we are. Caspian revives musical pledges established over 22 years ago, forgotten somewhere along the way but rediscovered here, hopefully, in the form of structural simplicity, approachable melodic sensibilities and being ruthlessly direct as possible with our own emotions. In a culture that shows no signs of slowing down, we find these core tenants more important than ever and it’s our hope that they’re put to the best use we are collectively capable of. We did this record for the 5 of us.
The band recorded the 39-minute, six-song album in the spring of this year with producer Brett Romnes (Hot Mulligan, The Movielife), drawing from two decades of development “while resisting the urge to reinvent themselves for reinvention’s sake.”
Album pre-orders, including several limited-edition vinyl variants and CDs, are available now.
A pair of U.S. tour performances have been simultaneously announced, with Caspian playing Dec. 3 at Saint Vitus (Brooklyn) and Dec. 4 at The Paradise (Boston). Tickets are on-sale this Friday at 12 noon eastern via Caspian.band. A UK/EU tour precedes the U.S. outings, with the band launching the two-week tour on Oct. 15.
