Description

Today singer songwriter Caspar Auwerkerken releases "Blossom", the opening track from his upcoming debut album "Figuring Out My Horizons", set for release on February 27th on V2 Records. 

"Blossom" was the first song the band and I managed to arrange in the aesthetic this album seeks to explore: a more minimalist sound that embraces space and quietude. Rather than relying on an elaborate arrangement, I wanted to create energy by recording the four of us together in one room—drawing more from influences like Pinback, early dEUS, Silver Jews, and Pavement, as well as contemporary acts such as Big Thief and Amen Dunes." Caspar explains about the song.

All songs on "Figuring Out My Horizons" are thematic in nature, drawing inspiration from philosophy, visual art, and the natural world. A central theme concerns how humanity deals with climate change in a world that is becoming increasingly materialistic and detached, and what concepts like authenticity and genuineness still mean: 

What does it mean to be human today, and how can one live authentically in the world?” 

At the same time, the songs also symbolize his search for inner peace, an attempt to respond to an anxiety disorder that at times rears its head intensely. The album is an act of resistance against fear — a manifestation of his “self” as something crystallized out of that fear, yet simultaneously offering a constructive counterbalance to a destructive force. 

loyal sources of inspiration that guide him in exploring these questions — and that are sometimes referenced directly — include philosophers Friedrich Nietzsche and Henry David Thoreau, and poets Arthur Rimbaud and Georg Trakl.
