Ways To Get Out, by Far Caspian

Ways To Get Out

by Far Caspian

supported by

Stephen Healy Most underrated dreampop/shoegaze of recent times. A must for fans of The Radio Dept. Favorite track: Pretend (Feat. BOYO).

HK Ways to Get Out is the key to the heart of every wistful spirit, of every daydreamer whose rose-coloured past - and exultant hopes for the future - is the guiding force of their present. Nostalgia, tenderly threaded through each track, is the lifeblood of the album. Tracks such as Get Along & Attempt, in all their sun-kissed bliss, carry the listener on a journey of bittersweet memory and the ache of love, whether lost or found. Undoubtedly, Johnston has gifted the world with his magnum opus. Favorite track: Attempt.

How long till I overcome? All the high risk You never seem to know When Im hiding Its getting all too old Something like that, like that I don’t even want You’re getting by alone I couldn’t be your left side I never tried to understand the words that were lost on I couldn’t be your left side Taking apart the pieces that were Like it was All beside the soul Breaking at the bridges Im just running from But how much will I get up? How much will I tell for having all? 15 till its over now Im breaking down the what ifs in my mind You’re getting by alone And you always say I couldn’t be your left side Its only when you need someone to hold But its not there Distract myself from The one you see when Im tired Get in the door before it rains out

5.	Attempt 04:41 video	lyrics	buy track
Turn off the lights again I’m Falling off I never thought I did But I guess not And it’s always, you fall apart It’s the old days That keep you warm I never lasted more than you thought I’m less alone Everybody turns from the wall Reaching for the fault from afar Left on a broken note you hide your hand I scraped the skin off of the only strand But it’s ok, you’ve had enough Getting on your, getting on your own I never had a thing to pull from I’m less alone Everybody turns from the wall Reaching for the fault from afar You know you’d do it for her

about

The debut album from Far Caspian.

From Joel (Far Caspian):

I began writing for this album in Feb 2020. The original plan was to write/record between the tours that had been planned for the year but by March everything was starting to get cancelled. This gave me a whole a year to fully focus on making a record. I was originally really inspired by 90’s shoe gaze like Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine and wanted to try do a new version of that. But within a few months I realised I would only be pigeon holing myself by labelling it as a shoe gaze record. I began gravitating more towards Alternative music from the early to mid 2000’s like The Postal Service, The Radio Dept, Broken Social Scene and The Walkmen. This felt more like home for me in terms of nostalgia because although I was born in the 90’s, I can’t really remember much of it! My music Nostalgia starts around 2003. I wanted to try and create a record that had hints of that time period in it whilst still holding on to what people had known me for up to this point.

The Album as a whole is about the things I’ve came across in my twenties but can be applied to any transitional period in life. Some topics I cover are depression and anxiety, tired relationships that have probably been dragged out for too long, feeling stuck within a scenario and place, Nostalgia and wishing things were easy like childhood, rejecting your identity and becoming someone else, chronic illness, family dynamics, death and religion.

‘Ways to get out’ is whatever the listener wants it to be…Ways to get out of a small town, Ways to get out of a relationship, ways to get out of your own head.
