'The Last Remaining Light' is the sophomore album from Irish Singer/Songwriter/Producer Joel Johnston. Far Caspian is the project of singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer Joel Johnston. Recording, playing and mixing everything himself across a catalogue of EPs and a debut record he has built upon this to become a fully self-contained and unique artist directing his own videos, shooting his press shots, creating his own artwork and starting a record label to do the same for other artists. Starting as a Soundcloud project created to generate interest from other artists in his production work Far Caspian soon became a collaborative project with friends that took Joel from a basement studio setup to over 2m streams a month on his first EPs through UK indie label Dance to the Radio. Deciding to work as a solo project in 2020 Joel moved back to his native Ireland, built a studio in a shed and recorded debut full length ‘Ways to Get Out’, a brooding and majestic reflection on navigating your mid-20s. The album has gone on to over 30m streams in the 18 months since it’s release in October 2021. Having built a committed international following across social media and streaming services Far Caspian’s music has featured on BBC Radio 1, KEXP, BBC 6music and in online tastemakers such as Clash, Dork, The Line of Best Fit and a number of significant editorial and third party playlists across Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and YouTube. Live, close friends join Joel to turn the project into a full band, resulting in driven and upbeat performances.
