The Great Depression is an ever-evolving recording project led by writer/composer, Todd Casper. Originally formed in Madison, Wisconsin, the group is currently based in Copenhagen, Denmark and includes multi-instrumentalists, Thomas Cranley, Jacob Kofler and Arman Fleming.
Signed to the esteemed indy label, Fire Records of London, in 2001, The Great Depression has since released 3 internationally celebrated albums; 'Unconscious Pilot', 'Preaching To The Fire' and 'Forever Altered'.
They also recently released the 'Whatever You're Building EP' on 10" limited edition vinyl (phisteria records). Critics in Copenhagen called it, " Better than drugs or religion..."
They are currently neck deep into their 4th LP. The hope is to have it completed and available by late autumn, 2009.
Various praise for their various works:
"Forever Altered is accomplished, sophisticated and heartfelt music where you are never far away from a stunning lyrical couplet or surprising burst of rasping energy."
BBC
"Forever Altered drifts through gray and sombre landscapes but its melancholia is sophisticated rather than melodramatic."
NPR
"Preaching to the Fire is a bold and endearing masterpiece...A definite contender for album of the year. "
DELUSIONS OF ADEQUACY
