And So I Watch You From Afar & Caspian – announce dublin show

 And So I Watch You From Afar  were born from freezing cold winters on the northernmost tip of Ireland. They play raw, charging, experimental music that is hard to define. Sometimes angular and noisy, sometimes pulsing, euphoric, overwhelming.

The joy, the power, the escapism found in their live shows is fabled. In 2006 they jumped in the van and didn’t stop. Across Europe, USA, Russia, Asia, Central America, Australia, touring relentlessly, they’ve slowly built a cult following around the world. Their albums are uncompromising and exploratory. The true spirit of independence, the definition of DIY, of realness and resolve.

Joining them on this tour is post-rockers, Caspian.

Formed in 2004, Massachusetts post-rockers Caspian original lineup consisted of members Philip Jamieson (guitars, keyboards), Calvin Joss (guitar), Chris Friedrich (bass), Joe Vickers (drums) and since 2007 Erin Burke-Moran (guitar).

Caspian released their first EP, You Are the Conductor, in late 2005 to widespread acclaim, and was followed by the group’s first full-length endeavor, The Four Trees, in 2007. Their second LP, the critically acclaimed Tertia, saw the light of day in the latter half of 2009, and was followed by a pair of European tours, a North American tour, and a pair of shows in China. In 2011, the band headed back into the studio to begin work on their third long-player. The resulting Waking Season was produced by Matt Bayles and received glowing praise from both the fans and the press, with Spin magazine going so far as to call it “the Best Post-Rock Album of the Year.”

The following three years proved to be tumultuous for the group, with the 2013 death of founding bassist Chris Friedrich casting a shadow over their recent success, but Caspian‘s tenacity ultimately won out, and in 2015 they released their long-awaited fourth studio outing Dust & Disquiet. After a string of brief hiatus’ and world tours spanning 4 continents, Caspian released the Will Yip co-produced On Circles in 2020.
