Description
Following the cult success of the first 2 EPs, Common Saints presents the debut album "Cinema 3000", the theme continues, blending soul, funk, and psychedelic influences with the organic sound and rich instrumentation that Common Saints has become known for.
Conceived in 2020 by writer / producer Charlie J Perry the production approach for Commons Saints consists of him playing and recording real instruments in his London home studio. One mike for the drums, his beloved piano and amps up loud!
The album encapsulates the old school recording approach and musicianship the discerning ear craves but with a more modern punch - a true sonic bath for all the connoisseurs out there. Think, UK's equivalent to Tame Impala and Khruangbin.
The first EP "Idol Eyes" (2020) has seen 3 re-presses to date and is now selling at multiples on Discogs. "Cinema 3000" is set to surpass expectations and is highly anticipated within the Commons Saints community.
The second LP pressing is on classic black vinyl.
Press:
"A soulful, blissed-out odyssey with shades of Shuggie Otis, Bill Withers and trippy Floydian psych...the warm, fuzzy sonics are truly sumptuous." - **** MOJO
"A song cycle of subtle beauty, it's also strikingly imaginative, a labour of love from a true pop auteur." - Clash
"Cinema 3000 is the type of album best listened to in a quiet, dim-lit room, inviting a moment of introspection. It makes for a psychedelic and mellifluous awakening of the modern soul." - **** The Upcoming
"Blissful smoothness and warm production." - DIY
