Far Caspian - first day, 2025

"A nostalgic and heartfelt love song, “First Day” opens up with bright, rhythmic guitars alongside a simple and steady drumbeat, all accompanied by a music video featuring a fish-eye lens view of residential houses, flat blocks, building construction and rainy parks."

Far Caspian - let's go outside, 2018

"Let's Go Outside" takes you somewhere before you even hear a single word. In a similar fashion to bands like Real Estate, somehow within a guitar lick lies the imagery of trees-lined streets and a cruise at golden hour. Frontman Joel Johnston’s voice is full care-free ease and a lo-fi sound that creates the perfect summertime vibe."

Far Caspian - blue, 2018

"As the very last days of warm weather start to fade away, I find myself trying to cling on to any kind of hazy, dreamy soundscape that I can find. One reason tends to be that I don’t really appreciate this style of track as the darker nights creep in, that’s where I need the gritty guitars and the rock & roll. But whilst we’re in this transition period and autumn doesn’t seem to know what it’s doing, Far Caspian have caught my attention with their lush new track ‘Blue’."

Far Caspian - a dream of you, 2019

"There’s something blissfully inexplicable within Far Caspian’s music that has a tendency to make your heart ache – and I mean ache. I’ve found, however, that it’s a rather empathic ache, one that you’re able to understand and connect with immediately when nestled somewhere under the UK trio’s warm, comforting blankets of sweeping synths and textured guitar, realizing something soothing about embracing inevitable melancholy rather than continuously fighting it, something ultimately substantial in venturing deep inside your emotions when it is far easier to ignore them completely. At least, that’s what seems to happen to me when listening to “A Dream Of You,” one of the five absolutely beautiful tracks on the trio’s sophomore EP The Heights, released earlier this week. Everything about the track tends to evoke a lonely evening by an unpredictable seaside, with both the opening melody as well as frontman Joel Johnston’s vocals overlapping each other with grace despite the incredibly heartbreaking nature of the narrative, alluding to the helpless, frenzied feeling from slowly being abandoned by the ones you love."
