Florida progressive post-hardcore outfit Capstan have announced their sophomore full length record, Separate, and shared a heavy & emotionally charged new single titled “shades of us“. The track’s official music video can be found below.
“Several songs on the album are about my ex before we split up, and this is one of them,” says guitarist Joe Mabry about the song. “There’s a dynamic shift. You’ve got a modern pop edge, but it’s still quite heavy. This is one of the flagship songs for the record. It’s about coming to a really bitter realization no matter how much you love a person or care, there’s all of this other fucked up shit in the way. Ultimately, you know it’s not going to work out.”
The single & announcement come two years after the group’s debut, Restless Heart, Keep Running made waves in the scene back in 2019. The group’s unique blend of post-hardcore, prog rock and pop punk remains as invigoratingly intact as it was on their revered debut.
Separate drops July 23rd via Fearless Records, and you can pre-order the record here. You can find the album’s official artwork and track listing below.
