Nested is a six-piece showcase for Capac, a long-distance electronic quartet for the post-everything world.

The mini-album utilises the group’s collective displacement – torn, picked, and ripped out over the six pieces. Found sounds, distant arpeggios, and vocal refrains reoccur throughout the mini-album's 23 minutes; giving a sense of cohesion, whilst simultaneously exploring themes of loss and decay in a fractured, fragmented and compartmentalised modern world.

Capac released Pastels through On The Shelf Records before being invited for a Maida Vale session with Huw Stephens who described them as “mesmerising”. It triggered a Wichita Records compilation release and an official remix for Portico Quartet. They’ve played live shows with Braids, PVT, Max Cooper, Nedry and Suuns.

The band will be releasing a full-length album in Spring 2015

SEA FREEZE, the debut album from long-distance electronica collective CAPAC explores human absence and loss of control. Sunken beneath the towering steel and icy glass of a modern dystopia, the album is characterised by a leitmotif that snakes, sneaks and squeezes through ten pieces; emerging and decaying as a dusty piano recording, a found sound and a subtle guitar, punctuated by the ebb and flow of the group's vocalist Kate Smith.

All too aware of the trend in popular electronic music to conform to 16 bar structures, Capac challenge the convention; drifting with purpose in and between spaces, taking Sea Freeze ‘off grid’; exploring texture, ambience and flow amongst compound meter.

Capac channel inspiration from across the contemporary avant-garde. From the dark throbs of Modern Love to the modern classical masterpieces of Kranky, their rhythms sit on the precipice of the armchair dancefloor, yet truly belong deep in the bass bins of the Boiler Room or Berghain.

Following the 2014 release of EP series Nested and Nested (The Other Branch), Sea Freeze marks a seven year evolution for the collective since their formation - at a time when the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference resulted in non-committal from all nations involved, frozen seas were confined to areas of the Baltic, and water on Mars was science fiction.

Capac are Stuart Cook, Matt Parker (of Nedry), Gary Salomon and Kate Smith. Live they perform with traditional instruments and electronics alongside projectionist and video maker Michael James Lewis, creator of a series of video pieces that complement the deep blue, icy textures of the album.

Any pre-order or vinyl purchase will come with an additional exclusive bonus track Trapped Under the Permafrost available as digital download from Bandcamp.

Sea Freeze will be released by This Is It Forever Records in the UK on Monday, 4 May 2015 as a limited edition 12” Vinyl and digital download available from all good music vendors. This Is It Forever is a Manchester based independent label formed by electronica duo Gavin and Tom from Ghosting Season and worriedaboutsatan.
