Caudal

Caudal is a trio of Canadian guitarist Aidan Baker, Irish bassist Gareth Sweeney, and Columbian drummer Felipe Salazar, formed in 2012 in Berlin, Germany. The trio plays 'trance punk,' combining Baker's multi-layered, heavily affected guitar with Sweeney and Salazar's motorik, propulsive rhythms, creating music which draws from krautrock, mathrock, post-punk, and spacerock influences. Baker also performs with the dreamsludge duo Nadja and the collective Hypnodrone Ensemble, Salazar also plays in the no-wave trio Muerte En Pereira and Hypnodrone Ensemble, Sweeney also plays with the post-post-punk trio Faulty Rabbit.Caudal released their debut album, Forever In Another World, on the environmental charity label, Oaken Palace Records, in 2013. Their second album, Ascension, was released in September 2014by Consouling Sounds, a their third full-length, Fight Cry Fight, came out in April 2018 on Drone Rock Records/Katuktu Collective.The EP Let's All Take The Yellow Pills, released in 2016 as a limited edition CD and only available directly from the band, was recorded during the same sessions as the material from Fight Cry Fight. But whereas Fight Cry Fight is quite structured and composed, the tracks on ...Yellow Pillsare much more free-form and improvisational, eschewing structure for texture, form for atmosphere...Limited to 300 copies and comes with a silk-screen printed banderole including donwload-code and senseless insert.
