Far Caspian

Far Caspian - the project of Irish musician Joel Johnston - today announces his new album Autofiction will be released on July 25th via his own Tiny Library Records (22º Halo, SOMOH). On its sunny lead single ‘First Day’ - out now alongside a self-directed video - bright, warm guitar riffs and uplifting percussion lay the foundation for a heartfelt love song. “I wrote ‘First Day’ one morning after dropping my partner off at her new job. She was in a transitional period where everything felt so daunting and raw. At a similar time, I was starting a new medication for my Crohn's disease that required me to go to the hospital and get infusions every 8 weeks,” the now Leeds, UK-based Johnston shares. “The first time I went, my partner was the one to drive me. I wrote this song as a reminder of how we have each other's backs and best interests at heart, regardless of how unsure we may be about what's ahead.”

Far Caspian has also announced a run of UK and EU headlining dates in September, before US headline dates through October/November; see below for a current itinerary.
