The result of hours and hours of trying to make something that sounds new to us. This song was struggling a bit during writing. We had the ambient guitars and sort of knew the way we wanted to go with it, but not really how to make it sound like that. By pure stubbornness and playing around in different tunings with the bass we ended up in the most progressive song we’ve made and new dynamics between guitars, bass and drums. It has a Deftones-vibe to it with a little hint of Explosions in the Sky to it, which was what we tried to make out of it. There’s a bunch of sudden changes in the song, making it a bit unpredictable, just like a dream, hence its title.
Moonlit Sailor has been one of my very first bands I found in the Post Rock universe. I instantly fell in love with the song Hope the very first time I listened it, I just became happy and hopeful straight away, so thanks a lot for that amazing song !! The rest of the album is also very good and does complete the ambiance around this very unique atmosphere ! Simon Bastien
I first heard Pillars when I attended Post. Fest 2018 to hear Heron play (I have 2 talented nephews who are members of that band). I thought the guys in Pillars sounded tight and awesome. This album, CAVUM, just proves even more so that I was correct! My favorites on the album are Dissolution and Black Prayer, but plenty of excellent sounds here! Kenneth Blick
