C Douglas 75019 / Limited Edition Vinyl
C Douglas releases his debut EP on Golden Lion Sounds.
This is melodious, upbeat synth-pop with vulnerability at its core.
His songs - which begin as acoustic, folk demos - take the shape of our times in the production process. Brought to life in a more contemporary setting, synthesisers, motorik beats and pulsing bass lines take centre stage. Big choruses are never far away and with a focus on energy and simplicity, each lyric and hook becomes instantly recognisable.
Generosity, open conversation and creative collaboration with Steve Cobby allowed the EP to take shape and the four tracks were finished in the home studio over the duration of two sunny weeks.
Vinyl is limited to 100 copies only
12" EP

The songs on 75019 are pop songs. They are the earliest recordings of the C Douglas project and therefore might remain as some of the most important. The first four songs there at the very beginning. Both perfect and imperfect in equal measure. In years to come, I will look back at my early days living in Paris and will remember the small bedroom and how these four songs began. The old wooden desk and the view of the park from my bedroom window.
It’s the collective work of a strange trio: myself, Golden Lion Sounds and Steve Cobby. A group of people who all love doing music our own way.
75019 is as much for them as it is for me and you. An homage to the North West: its roots grounded in the countryside, industry and weirdness of Todmorden and Hull.
Thank you for your support,
C Douglas
