Albums: The Four Trees, You Are the Conductor, Quickstar Productions Presents : Eleventh Hour Confessions - the Midwest Edition - Volume 2

Caspian is an American instrumental rock band from Beverly, Massachusetts. The band formed in Autumn of 2003 and played their first concert in August of 2004. After releasing their debut EP You Are the Conductor (Dopamine, 2005), the band spent most of 2006 touring The United States and Canada and writing their debut full-length record The Four Trees (Dopamine, 2007).

"The Four Trees" was released in the U.S. on April 10, Japan on May 2 and in Europe in July of 2008. Both albums were produced by the band and recorded in Boston with Ethan Dussault at New Alliance studios. Caspian has independantly booked, promoted and funded 4 cross country tours of the United States to promote both records since 2006 and appeared at the 2008 SXSW music festival in Austin Texas.

Sonically Caspian draws from a broad scope of influences ranging from the ambient sophistication of Eluvium and Brian Eno to the crushing fury of art-metalists such as ISIS and Tool. Emotively, the music of Caspian shares common threads with Sigur Ros, M83 and The Appleseed Cast. Caspian are currently writing new music to be released in 2009 and planning a European tour in October of 2008.

Caspian consists of 5 members: * Philip Jamieson (guitar, programming, loops) * Calvin Joss (guitar, glockenspiel, loops) * Erin Burke-Moran (guitar) * Chris Friedrich (bass guitar) * joe vickers (drums) ( Burke-Moran was added to the group after the writing/recording of "The Four Trees" was completed.)
