Far Caspian has shared the deluxe edition of his debut album ‘Ways To Get Out’

The release features three previously unheard tracks from the Leeds-based songwriter-producer.

Far Caspian - AKA Joel Johnston - has shared the deluxe edition of his debut album ‘Ways To Get Out’, out now via Tiny Library Recs / AllPoints.

The release features three previously unheard tracks from the Leeds-based songwriter-producer, plus alternate versions of several album tracks recorded live at The Nave studios in Leeds (bdrmm, W.H. Lung) with an eight-piece band setup.

‘Come Down And Waste With Me’ is the latest of the new songs included on the release. “It’s based on a friendship that was starting to diminish," he explains. "I think the most important line in the song is “And I’m so tired, I’m barely here at all”. My mind was so often too preoccupied with anxiety that I always felt exhausted, this led to me to be absent in my friendships and missing out on important moments. It was the first track I wrote for the album when I was still quite influenced by shoegaze. It was the first time I used distortion on my guitar and I was really excited to try a new sound. I remember I was listening to “When You Sleep” by My Bloody Valentine on loop at that point so that definitely had an influence on the instrumentation”
