☀️🌞 MRS SUNSHINE EP OUT NOW 🌞☀️

Last year we stepped into the studio with @iggyiggyb and recorded fifteen songs over eight long days in a stuffy box room, a huge effort from all involved. 5 of these songs make up this new EP which is now yours to soundtrack your life. All the moments from the mundane to the magical 🧙

Being an independent band over the last 6 years has had its challenges and rough moments. However, we realise how lucky we are to have an audience who genuinely believe and care about us. As much as this EP is for us to finally bloooody have some new music out. Our efforts are largely for you and those who have and continued to support us and the twang.

Big ups to
@iggyiggyb for being the chillest, musicial wizard throughout this process. A true calm beacon of recording possibility and reminding us how simple and fun it can all be.

@neilrevealsound for the master as always
@elemarchant @behindtheeyeoffifi @sekinue for your visual aid, our patchwork artwork is made up of your creations
@georgecowley_ for keeping us in check and believing in us so much we’re forced to believe in ourselves again

Late to the posting party because I’ve been out late partying 🔴 ⚪️
To think I’ve had 22 years of hurt all because I wanted to support the team that had a ponytail goalkeeper, cheers David. 🏆

New @hutch.band song out today - Hillside Wool 🐑

We decided to climb Pen y Fan together last year, hoping for glorious views of the Brecon Beacons. What we lacked in great sights we made up for in adventure.

Here’s some shots I took of the guys on our ascent to the summit. Go check out the full music video for the full story.

Some shots I took of @softtopmusic in January. They’ve just released their new single ‘Your Aching Words’ which is definitely worth a spin.

2016! Were jumping on the bandwagon to take a look back to 2016 as the social media overlords have spoken 🤖

The Folklore Rooms didn’t exist back then but Folklore Sessions did, being birthed in 2014.

For those that haven’t been around that long, The Folklore Rooms came to be having ran our own free entry monthly gig in the corner of a pub (thank you @thewhiterabbitpub!!) which we did for 7 years. We would have three acts play, alongside founder Jacko Hooper (@jacko_hooper) to give singer songwriters in particular a place to call home. We still run this monthly showcase to this day as we enter our 12th year, providing folks with a place to discover their new favourite artists for a free entry night. Third Tuesday of the month at The Folklore Rooms!

We went on to put on more shows across Brighton, in gardens and pubs and shops and pop up theatres and festivals and wherever else we could drag a PA… There was a LOT of heavy lifting!

It’s crazy looking back… We wouldn’t have TFR, the record releases and the shows across the South East if it wasn’t for those early days - You might recognise some of the people in these photos! We’ve been blessed with many incredible artists over the years and looking forward for what’s to come 🫶

Anyone part of the community that far back? Any favourite memories over the last ten years? We’d love to hear them!

This is music, as it should be.

Looks like we have an early winter solstice celebration DJ set this Saturday with @ch_rliethomasmusic and @markmonsoon AKA CHERRY MONSOON 🍒 🌪️

Expect classic disco, tinkering into some light club classics and those famous b-sides and rarities that you may not know but need to hear

7PM-11PM in the bar ❤️

Coming out of solo singer songwriter retirement for @mumfestbrighton this year under the project that always was but seemingly has never been @newbornanimalz celebrating mums, heroes and Christmas xx

If it goes well i’ll release all 13 albums, 2 best of’s and 3 collab EPs all sat on my old broken laptop but we’ll start with just some songs to ease ease back into it.

Catch me whining, contemporary dancing and singing songs on the 13th Dec and donate if/where you can!

Love, Charlie aka NewBornAnimalz x
