Far Caspian featuring BOYO – Pretend
Together in indie dreams.
The new video by Leeds-based, Northern Irish bedroom pop savant Joel Johnston (top) aka Far Caspian is a walk in the park.
With such an effortlessly melodic groove, Johnston is priming us for the release of his new album Ways To Get Out.
And let’s not forget his collaborator here BOYO aka cult Los Angeles lo-fi star Robert Tilden.
Great work all round.
Nick says: So Far so good.

Gardaí in Portlaoise seized over €2.1 million worth of MIND-Altering cannabis herb cunningly concealed in a delivery of vegetables, as part of Operation Tara.

This morning.
Via RTE:
Today’s cabinet meeting will consider a plan to sign off on a timetable for the final unwinding of Covid curbs from next Monday including the phased return to the workplace from 20 September.
The Government’s Covid Committee has formulated a proposal for today’s Cabinet that would effectively bring the curtain down on restrictions on 22 October.
This is contingent on Covid cases remaining manageable and 90% of adults being fully vaccinated.
Masks are still likely to be required in the health and retail sectors and on public transport.
From 6 September, larger crowds can gather for religious ceremonies and sports events.
Indoor venues can use 60% capacity for events for those who are vaccinated, and this will be set at 75% at outdoor locations for the vaccinated.
Live music indoors will return at weddings and in bars, while on 20 September the phased return to the workplace would begin.
Indoor after school activities could also resume along with sports indoors on that date.
