British post-rock collective Caroline 2 recently released their Album of the Week, featuring the delightful side project Curbside Lambsear. Jasper Llewellyn, a member of the group, has now shared his debut solo single, "For The Teacher," through Rough Trade. The seven-minute track is available for listening now. Llewellyn revealed that he composed some parts of the song years ago and others just before recording, with the song's themes emerging from a collection of sounds, atmospheres, texts, and more throughout the writing, recording, and mixing phases.
The piece is a culmination of various songwriting ideas spanning more than five years, all united by a common thread of ideals such as friendship, romance, ethics, and the pursuit of goodness in the world. The song is dedicated to Llewellyn's Buddhist teacher, Maitreyabandhu, and incorporates the poetical text of Bhante Sangharakshita from an upcoming book-length poem, a eulogy to his teacher.
Llewellyn plans to embark on his first-ever solo tour this fall, supporting My New Band Believe in Europe and headlining shows across the UK, the US, and other locations.
