Green Seagull + Naomi Randall

Green Seagull are a London, UK based baroque psych pop band, taking influence from the likes of The Left Banke, The Zombies and The Association.Taking their name from a mis-heard Rolling Stones lyric, Green Seagull are a prominent band on London's burgeoning neo-psych scene. Their harmony-laden baroque/freakbeat and hook-laden, jangly sound is so authentic, it's hard to believe that you're not listening to a lost record from the sixties.The band formed in 2016 when Paul Nelson (New Electric Ride) approached Paul Milne (Hidden Masters / Magnetic Mind) to work on some songs together. A shared enthusiasm for late-60s baroque psychedelia and 12-string jangle soon blossomed into a prolific songwriting team, and before long the duo had more songs than they knew what to do with.They were joined shortly after by Sarah Gonputh on keys and Elian Dalmasso on drums, and the newly-minted quartet set about recording a demo in their rehearsal room on an old cassette 4-track.Also joined by Dan Davies on guitar, the band have since released five 7" singles and two albums on various independent labels, and have been making waves with their embellished pop, gaining support from the likes of Mark Radcliffe, Gideon Coe and Marc Riley on BBC Radio 6 Music.Onto album number three! Smoke And Mirrors is the next outing for Green Seagull, now with Spinout Nuggets, continuing their baroque psyche pop sound, with eleven tracks, which includes 'Lightning Girl' and '(They're Coming For You) Barbara' which were released on 7" via Disques Rogue in late '22. Support comes from Naomi Randall, singer with The Thorn, whose golden-voiced folk rock melodies have drawn comparisons with Sandy Denny and Linda Perhacs.
