Words: Sam Geary
Leeds indies Far Caspian share their brand new single 'A Dream Of You', taken from their forthcoming second EP 'The Heights' out this summer.
The shoegaze-dreampop of 'A Dream Of You', produced by the trio's frontman Joel Johnston, is out now via Dance To The Radio.
“'A Dream Of You' was the first song I wrote for this EP," says Johnston. "It was inspired by some of our favourite synth pop bands of the 80’s and gave us the idea to play with that sort of sound for the rest of the songs. It’s mainly about feeling abandoned whether that’s from a relationship or from friends or family and already knowing that feeling from previous experiences.
"The inspiration for the lyrics came from a place where I was thinking about my experiences as a kid. I’m the youngest of five boys and I was always seeking validation and wanted to be a part of the fun. I quickly got used to the feeling of being alone as each brother eventually moved away from home. It made me realise my expectation of others now that I’m older. The more I have conversations with people the more I realise everyone carries something from their childhood with them and at our age it’s about figured out whether it’s a good or bad thing."
