Pressing Specifications
Who Is Euros Childs?
Euros Childs is a Welsh musician from Pembrokeshire who founded and fronted Gorky's Zygotic Mynci from 1991 until the band's breakup in 2006, a Welsh neo-psychedelic group that built a devoted European following and a smaller but vocal cult audience in the United States. Since going solo, Childs has been remarkably prolific, releasing his debut Chops in 2006 followed by three further albums on Wichita Recordings, before founding his own National Elf label in 2009 to release music on his own terms. As of January 2019, Childs is also the keyboardist for Scottish indie veterans Teenage Fanclub.
About Sweetheart
Released on National Elf in October 2015, Sweetheart continues Childs' steady, prolific approach to songwriting, following his own description of his music as pop with a bit of folk thrown in, sometimes using synthesizers, sometimes pianos or guitars, but always essentially rock and roll. The album was preceded by the single Fruit and Veg, and fans have drawn comparisons to Nick Drake's intimate folk songwriting alongside the melodic playfulness that characterised Childs' work with Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, with standout tracks including the title track and Love Is A Memory.
