How Caskets Made Their Best Album Yet with "The Only Heaven You'll Know": Breakdown with Matt Flood
Description
At the beginning of 2021, we brought on a band to the podcast due to a copyright snafu forcing their name to change, because we were interested. That has led us to absolutely fall in love with their sound, their fantastic debut album, and a sophmore album that amplified everything about their sound.
But with their third album coming up, you know we have to catch up with the band and answer a few questions. Questions like; what has the band done to evolve their sound oveall on this record, is it going to work out for them in the long run, and does the quality of the album stand tall in this sound evolution? Well, we have an album of the year candidate, hope that answers those questions.
Matt from the UK post-hardcore band Caskets returns for his 4th & quickest visit to the Chord Progression Podcast, with the 3rd Caskets album "The Only Heaven You'll Know" releasing on November 7th. Dive deep into Caskets and the new album with us as we discuss:
- The pressure Caskets felt when it came to delivering on a similar sound they created when writing "Reflections" in 2023, but the more confident in evolving their sound through experimentation on "The Only Heaven You'll Know."
- How Caskets evolved their sound further with "The Only Heaven You'll Know" by digging deeper into their influences, adding more 80's, synths, and even unclean vocals for a wider ranging sound.
- Songs that amplify the evolution of Casket's sound from Closure, Save Us, and Our Remedy (ft. Make Them Suffer).
Matt is a gem, Caskets is an absolute gem, and you should not miss out on them, ever. Tap the subscribe button becuase trust us, more great bands and conversations are coming your way.
