Expire Pt I started life as a piece of film music. While Caspar was composing music for an independent film it became apparent that some of the pieces he’d written had evolved beyond their supporting role and taken on a more personal, autobiographical essence. Inspired to explore this new direction, Caspar enlisted producers Luke Smith (Clor, Depeche Mode, Foals) and Orlando Leopard – his brother (Arthur Beatrice, Florence & The Machine, Thurston Moore) to help realise his eponymous debut. Together, the three of them have co-produced a series of tracks at the Leopard brothers’ East London Studio, No.1 Baltic Place.

The cinematic and reflective Expire Pt I, is a first glimpse into these recording sessions. The track is a glistening and brooding meld of electronics, Leopard’s own cutting, intimate vocals, alongside echoes of his filmic orchestral past – undoubtedly, it’s an ambitious statement of intent.

Speaking about the track Caspar said “I wrote Expire Pt I during a dip on the wave through life. The song came quicker than most and captured a moment of reflection. Not only at my own process but a snap shot of the world around me. Brexit looming, media shouting negative news in every direction, a huge wall of noise online. This song is about finding calm within this maelstrom and connecting to the simple things in life. It’s easy to forget what really matters when you’re frantically clawing your way up the ladder, striving for ‘success’.”

To accompany the music, Leopard, in his directorial debut, has created a beautiful improvised modern dance video for Expire Pt I, due for release Wednesday November 1st, the first in a series of short films that will support this stunning debut.
