Caesura were a UK band from Winchester, formed in 2005. They exist as yet more evidence that a miniature wave of post-rock\midwest emo hybrid bands rose up in the aughts, combing post-rock's vast soundscapes with midwest emo's twinkling ennui. Caesura follow that formula well, but they also bring something a bit different to the table in the form of post-punk influences, which makes sense given the time period. This puts them in the rare company of bands that mixed emo with the garage rock revival, such as The Diggs—but given Caesura's home turf, a more fitting comparison would be their fellow countrymen One Toy Soldier, who also sometimes sound a bit like Bloc Party.
Caesura put out their first release in the form of the Dear Light Outside EP in 2006. They also contributed a track to a compilation; during the same sessions, they recorded second track that went unreleased. I'm able to include it here thanks to one of the band members. In 2008, the band would change their name to On Histories of Rosenberg and release a final EP.
