New Music: Autofiction

           

The Ireland-born, Leeds-based songwriter Joel Johnston, AKA Far Caspian, just released the album "Autofiction" describing how the record sees the project come full circle. Now they are back with the title track/single in an airy in tone but direct in nature, the number is what Johnston describes as a simple love song dedicated to his partner Megan Lama, and Lama herself lends supporting vocals to further deepen the compassion of the sound.  "I see you by the phone box you called in / all the words that you say,"  Johnston sings in the opening, embodying the interplay between the tactile and the intangible which constitutes such intimacy. "I feel close as if you’re here beside me / don’t feel bad to stay / delicate colouring book by your front door / caught in a haze when you call." Video by Joel Johnston and featuring Megan Lama.
