G&C on ITUNES...
...yes, you can now download your favorite low-fi sci-fi folksters on ITUNES. Tis an odd thing...but we will try to record more for this new fangled technology called "empee-threes." (note: look under both "george and caplin" and "george&caplin")
(thanks whiskey lords chris and randall)

John Wenzel

"...flush with fuzzy 4AD shoegazey guitars set against dreamy Boards of Canada-esque electronic landscapes, It's an epic journey." Solomon

::GOT THROUGH TO ADVERTISING?::

...and here's what they're are saying about our new album...

"He Really Got Through To Advertising, deeply explores some of Jason Iselin's and Jeffrey Stevens' favorite sonic domains: skeletal electronics, oceanic guitars, and Stevens' feathery inflection. Contrasted with hints of delicately plucked folk and edgy dissonance, the result is another unsurprisingly consistent release from a band that deserves Colorado knighthoods." The ONION


"If Sofia Coppola were commissioned to translate the works of Hitchcock for the modern era, George&Caplin would surely provide the soundtrack. Catch the act's latest epic (and the new disc is epic, folks)" Westword Magazine

"The album is both sprawling and orchestrated, a collection of decomposed and halted melodies layered in a barrage of sound that blends folk ballad and new wave experimentation into delicate mini-symphonies. Detail sounds prove the pair as true nit-pickers, filling out every possible nook and cranny with scratchy noises, undertones and off-kilter frequencies." This Week In Denver

"Though there are some hints of early New Order and influences of Brian Eno can be heard, George & Caplin are by no means copycats, they create something of their own. It is the amalgam of alienating electronic sounds and traditional instruments that makes this album so attractive...He Really Got Through To Advertising this album would fit easily on the 4AD roster."

::george&caplin's "things past" reviewed in WIRE magazine(UK)::

WIRE (may 2006 issue 267)
+"Denver’s favourite sons Jason Frederick Iselin and Jeffrey Wentworth Stevens... developed secret weapons and parachutes for their Big Wheels and Things Past gives you an idea of how that worked out."

+"This is playful psychedelia filled with low budget keyboards, fizzy effects, lazy vocals, tinkling strings and other groovy things."

order now at...
www.blrrecords.com or contact us at...
jeff@georgeandcaplin.com
or Twist and Shout and Wax Trax (Denver, Co)

and here's what they're saying...

+"Not only will the songs stick in my head for days at a time, but the other, more abstract facets of the album compel multiple listens and open up an inviting space that promises complete unpredictability. Things Past is pretty on the surface, but exhibits a stunning profundity as well and for that reason it is a magnificently satisfying listen that absolutely should not be missed." www.brainwashed.com

+"All of Things Past is soupy, swirling with acoustic guitar and ascending swathes of orchestral electronics. It sounds absolutely amazing; in part because the band knows how to handle all of their instruments, but also because every song on here is almost instantly satisfying."www.brainwashed.com Mar. 6th 2006

+" ...it's wickedly atmospheric and innovative." The Denver Post

+"...songs at times feel like a gifted child's crayon drawing, full of colorful, squiggly melodic lines and messy, impressionistic moments." The Denver Post

+"The influence of innovators like Brian Eno, John Cage, and early New Order can be felt throughout the album." The Denver Post Feb. 3rd, 2006

+"The blend ofelectronica and non-electronica, along with the quiet segues make for a dynamic piece of misty music to inform a gray afternoon or the clouds of eternity." www.fishcomcollective.net Mar. 2006

+"G&C have continued to evolve from their first explorations: making Pinocchio into a real, flesh and blood boy, where digital and analog meet organic." Kaffine Buzz Magazine Feb. 4th 2006

+ "Using a variety of instruments, as well as modified amplifiers, keyboards, etc. G&C grope a sound that few bands can reach out into the ether and put on a disk for your listening pleasure."
Buzz Magazine Feb. 2006

+"Pulsing synth lines, pop-and-hiss percussion and creepy Cold War computer loops do a delicate jig with acoustic guitar plucks and the ebb and flow of grinding cello to create the melancholy and disenchantment of a modern-day film noir soundtrack."
Westword Magazine Feb. 2nd 2006
