Andy Little directs a reflective one-shot promo for Far Caspian, where singer Joel Johnson is the quiet centre of an increasingly unhinged office party. The video is a slow reveal of a downbeat Johnson in the midst of an oblivious group of revellers, performing the song Following The Trend to a retreating camera. The video captures the increasingly chaotic happenings around the singer, but does not distract from his quiet and poetic presence.The understated, naturalistic aesthetic adds to the authentic vibe of the concept - and it's more than likely viewers could pick any of the characters in this video and relate them to someone they know from their own awkward work parties.
