Fresh Tune from Far Caspian

May 27, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

An unexpected release that just popped up on our radar a few weeks back, Far Caspian is quickly building my anticipation for Autofiction. On the latest single, you get to hear this incredible balance between frenetic pacing and Joel Johnston’s calmed delivery; it’s a balancing act that when presented in this fashion, wraps the listener in this cocoon of joy. Plus, it allows for a little more space, letting the guitars race off to the track while the vocals disappear, bring in this almost minimalist post-punk vibe that’s both striking and anxiety-ridden. Then it all switches off, as the track embraces the gentler moments of companionship with friends as it draw to a close. I have a feeling we’ll spend a lot of time with this LP; it drops on July 25th via Tiny Library Records.

Far Caspian Return with Autofiction

April 29, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I distinctly remember popping into Sidebar at SXSW a few years ago, telling my wife that we had to catch the set from Far Caspian, as I was really in love with their jams. We went home superfans, and so today is welcome news, with the project announcing Autofiction, their new LP. This brand spanking new single perfectly captures what I love about the band, sort of buzzing with this lo-fidelity spirit, yet brimming with this vibrant pop sensation you don’t get too often nowadays. Honestly, this feels like the best song that Radio Dept. never wrote, and I say that with the utmost adoration for both groups! This new LP will hit on July 25th Tiny Library Records.

Far Caspian Releases New Video for Own

One of the modern musicians shape-shifting with almost every song is Far Caspian; Joel Johnston’s approach to indie diversity usually keeps listeners on their toes. Throughout the newest single from his forthcoming LP, Johnston takes a mellower approach than the last tune we heard; this one trickles, running over a perfect guitar chord that recirculates and charms as you listen. For me, the stuff that makes Joel’s work standout is the attention to detail; the light strings and the ghostly backing vocals add the perfect depth of texture to the tune, which is one of the reasons I love Johnston’s construction practices. The Last Remaining Light will be out on July 14th via Tiny Library Records.
