Far Caspian: The Last Remaining Light [Tiny Library]
Irish musician Joel Johnston records under the name Far Caspian; The Last Remaining Light is the follow-up to 2021’s Ways to Get Out. The new album threads haunting harmony and knotty, post-hardcore cadences into a rousing folk frame. “My initial songs were part of a healing process that I went through at an early age, so I don’t really identify with them as much anymore,” Johnston said in a statement. “I’ve drifted very far from that—not just emotionally, but also stylistically.”
