12'' EP - Limited Edition Red with Black Splatter Vinyl.
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 re-pressings 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."
