Da Captain Trips - In Between (Uk) [LP] Vinyl Record

""In Between"" is the fifth full length album of the band and comes after 3 years from ""Maths of the Elements"" with the same line up. This time the mission of the four musicians is to explore the sound and the landscape of the place ""in between"" where our consciousness moves when the physical form ends it's time. Death is part of life and it could be the last definitive psychedelic trip. A great inspiration was reading ""The Tibetan Book of the Dead"", where you can find a detailed explanation of what to do in life to recognize the way after you have passed away. They tried to give their own interpretation going deep in their consciousness to explore the sound of that moment, passing through the colors, whispers, shades, symbols and thinking about the emptiness of our being. The result can be perceived in their compositions from a dark and a light side of the music that fight. Compared to the previous album, there is an improvement in dialogue between guitar and keyboards and structures are like a flow because most of the ideas come from improvisations and some songs were born and developed starting from the rhythm. All the songs have been recorded live, mixed and mastered at the ""Outside Inside Studio"" in the middle of woods in the north of Italy by Matt Bordin, between November 2024 and February 2025. Visual artist and friend ""Dem"" created this beautiful artwork as his own interpretation of the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Inspired by the shape of a double Vajra (a ritual tool symbolizing absolute stability in Tibetan Buddhism) he merged it with magical symbols from various European traditions that bridge the material and spiritual worlds.
