Capsize Returns For First Full EP in 10 Years: Daniel Wand & the New EP “Under a Hollow Sky”
Thu Feb 05 2026
It has been 10 years since Capsize released their last record, A Reintroduction: The Essence of All That Surrounds Me. Since then, Capsize went away, and have released a few singles since 2022. But if we are talking about them in an intro like this, there has to be something new coming, right?
Well of course there is, but what is that new thing? Is it new music? And if it is new music, what does it consist of? How is writing music now different for Capsize than 10 years ago? And is it going to connect with fans old and new when it finally releases? Let's get the insight for you.
Daniel from Capsize joins the Chord Progression Podcast today. With the band's return EP, Under a Hollow Sky, releasing on February 6th, we get you ready for the EP and how the band has changed artistically in the last 10 years. On this episode, we talk about:
- The difference between the sound & writing on the new EP, Under a Hollow Sky, and the last album from 2016, stemming from Daniel not having a need to put tunnel vision on making music and ignoring the other influences life throws our way.
- Why Daniel writes Capsize's lyrics based on emotion, and guiding the emotion of the story to you instead of telling a story that very few can connect with on a deep level.
- How "The Scars You Left Are the Only Proof I Existed" touches on a nostalgic MySpace post-hardcore sound, to bring forward a feeling of a less complicated life we all remember from the past.
This is a great episode to reenergize your Capsize fandom. Tap the subscribe button to see more artists and new music coming your way.
