Following the cult success of the first two EPs and debut album Cinema 3000, Common Saints returns with the highly anticipated EP, Equinox - a release that's already generating excitement within the Common Saints community. The record blends the signature soul, funk, and psychedelic influences fans have come to love, but this time with a livelier tempo and renewed energy. Founded in 2020 by writer and producer Charlie J Perry, Common Saints embraces a hands-on, organic approach to music-making. Charlie plays and records real instruments in his London home studio, often using just a single mic for the drums, his beloved piano, and cranked-up amps to capture a raw, authentic sound. Equinox is a masterclass in musicianship and analogue warmth - an old-school recording ethos fused with a modern edge. It's a sonic experience designed for discerning ears: a richly layered audio bath for true connoisseurs. Think of it as the UK's answer to Tame Impala and Khruangbin. The debut EP Idol Eyes (2020) has already seen four repressings and is now fetching multiples on Discogs. Meanwhile, the acclaimed debut album Cinema 3000 exceeded expectations and is currently on its third re-pressing. The first Equinox EP pressing is on a 'red splatter' effect colour way and will be limited to 1500 units globally. In his own words, Charlie describes the EP "Equinox represents a meeting of the dark and the light - when the sun and the moon both appear in the sky. It's a reflection of a period in my life that's been both tragic and transformative - the loss of my father, and the birth of the Common Saints live show. This EP marks growth, transition, and a turning point for me - and, I hope, for anyone listening."
