Caspian — Hymn for the Greatest Generation
Played: 2026-06-11 (Segment 7 — Heavy close) (TikTok)(closer)
Closer. Title track of the 2013 EP from the Beverly, Massachusetts post-rock band, recorded around the Waking Season sessions. It became an elegy for bassist Chris Friedrich, who died unexpectedly in 2013 — "the calm before the storm," a slow eruption of soundscapes. Seven and a half minutes of wordless build to end the show on its emotional high.
TikTok angle: This song was recorded with Caspian's bassist Chris Friedrich; before it came out, he died unexpectedly. The band released it anyway and it became his elegy — seven and a half minutes, no words. Closed this week's show.
Caspian — Moksha
Played: 2026-07-09 (closer)
Closing track from The Four Trees (2007), the breakout album from this Massachusetts post-rock band. "Moksha" takes its name from the Sanskrit term for liberation from the cycle of rebirth — a fittingly expansive, wordless instrumental to close the show on.
