LIMITED EDITION WHITE VINYL GATEFOLD
Release Date: 25th July 2025
Limited edition pressing of 500. Our love of Far Caspian is no secret. His 2021 debut album 'Ways To Get Out' was our album of the year that year and his previous album, 'The Last Remaining Light', was our album of the month in July 2023. As Far Caspian, the Irish musician Joel Johnston creates some sort of melancholic alchemy of familiar sounding analog-spun 90's-nodded indie-rock that sends vivid childhood-shivers down your spine. With 'Autofiction', he has gone one better. Evoking seminal summer-soaked poignancy of moments lost in time - a soundtrack to your past and your future. Far Caspian forever!

"On his new album Autofiction, Far Caspian’s Joel Johnston is learning to make peace with the cards he’s been dealt. Following his Crohn’s disease diagnosis in 2021, Johnston felt stuck mourning the loss of his life before, and struggling to cope with not only his new reality, but also an ongoing battle with OCD and anxiety. Autofiction finds the Irish musician discovering the tools he needs to keep moving forward. “I’m now at the point where I don't really let it define me,” he says. “The lyric ‘your mind changed from a fear to a song’ [on ‘Lough’] is my expression of freedom: to no longer be held down by something you’ve got used to. I’m trying to not even make sense of it all, but just live in it, and be grateful for the things I do have.”"
