Chill Dream Pop
Upcoming Far Caspian Tour
As Far Caspian, Joel Johnston writes expansive and enveloping indie rock songs about being aimlessly stuck in routines. Anchored by the Leeds-based, Ireland-born musician’s dogged attention to detail—he writes, performs, records, and mixes everything himself—his music consistently feels like its own self-contained world, full of densely packed hooks and guitar-based atmospherics. With his sophomore LP The Last Remaining Light, he’s made his most cohesive and compelling work yet. The album is the result of Johnston streamlining his approach in the studio, finding inspiration in peeling back his tracks’ layers in a way that’s both rewarding and immediate in its simplicity.
