A small film crew had exclusive access to the secluded cabin in the woods where I recorded Far From Nowhere straight to tape. Rather than hero shots of me nailing it, this short music doc captures the challenges & concerns of a musician struggling to survive in an increasingly hostile industry

Thank you! ☺️ ✨

Josienne Clarke – Far From Nowhere (Review) On ‘Far From Nowhere’, Josienne Clarke exposes the DNA of her work, unlocking immense power and yielding her “grandest effort to date”. This is the “best music of an already distinguished career.”

“focused, in command, full of conviction, composed, confident and comfortable with who she is, making some of the best music of an already quite distinguished career.”

@klofmag.com reviews ‘Far From Nowhere’ & they like it!

Josienne Clarke - Far From Nowhere (Corduroy Punk) - God Is In The TV Far From Nowhere finds Josienne Clarke retreating to a cabin in Scotland with engineer Murray Collier, stripping everything back to what would hold together

Dream review from ✨ @godisinthetvzine.bsky.social

“It’s rare to hear a record in 2025 that feels so unguarded & honest. When everything demands performance, Far From Nowhere shows what happens when someone simply does the work & lets it speak for itself”
www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2025/10/18/j...

It’s so lovely to have @gralefrit.bsky.social along as Q&A host and MC for this tour
I’d love to have him at every gig forever now!!

Hurrah!! 🙌 this is EXCELLENT news!!

“armed with little more than her guitar, sought space in a remote cabin in the Scottish Highlands where, in a few short days, she emerged with the best collection of songs of her career so far”

🤣

This is wonderful news!! 🙌✨

It means TONNES!! And ongoing support like yours is part of the reason I decide to carry on each time I question it ✨

I consider giving up music about once a week. The expense of it, the lack of remuneration, the growing workload that directly impacts my family and makes me reliant on the goodwill of my nearest and dearest to support it with its ever diminish…

Bit of an odd way to promote my upcoming album, music doc and launch tour but I suspect, sadly, a very relatable read for creative artists these days…

Broken Veil OST, by Broken Veil 21 track album

Don’t forget, the wheezing groaning soundtrack to podcast smash #BrokenVeil is available on Bandcamp.

Still I’m pinning all my sentences on melodies instead…
