Green Seagull set to release new single “Simeon Brown”

Taking their name from a mis-heard Rolling Stones lyric, Green Seagull are the latest band to burst out of London’s burgeoning neo-psych scene. 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 Carlos Redondo on drums and released their debut album to glowing reviews in 2018.

Simeon Brown b/w Belladonna is a taster from their second album, currently in production, which will be released by Mega Dodo later this year. It’s another perfect pop confection, and as with their previous singles we were reluctant to commit ourselves to naming an A-side. It did seem a bit audacious to refer to these 6 minutes and 29 seconds of joy as a single. So, we have covered our embarrassments by treating this as if it were a mini LP and releasing it in stereo in a sleeve with a pretty colour picture and on green vinyl. Simeon Brown b/w Belladonna is released by Mega Dodo in May 2019, with a much longer album set to follow later in the year.
