Summer is here and we’re excited to share some Galaxians news with you….
Firstly, we hope you will give a warm welcome to our new singer, Beccy Young!
Beccy hails from Sunderland and is one half of the synth pop duo CHAT. She’s also a bonafide local legend; she even won an award with that title earlier this year for her work with young people learning music production in Sunderland. Beccy has brought both a sharp, sassy pop vocal style and a renewed energy to Galaxians, and we’re so excited to perform live together
Secondly, it’s been a very long time coming, but we’re thrilled to say that we have finished recording our new (as yet untitled) third album. The nine songs are probably our most varied yet, and we can’t wait to share them with you. We hope to have the album mixed and mastered by the end of this year.
The album features vocals by Beccy on seven of the nine songs, with Bradford-born singer Sinead Campbell providing vocals on two songs. Sinead is a singer-songwriter, freelance Creative producer and Creative Wellbeing Coach. As a producer, Sinead enjoys taking on a multitude of freelance projects – from putting on music events to educational projects with young people. It’s been a privilege working with Sinead on this album, too.
This new album feels our most collaborative to date, and we’re also excited to have secured the creative talents of illustrator Ben Holden, who will be working with us on the album artwork. Ben is a multidisciplinary artist and musician living and working in the city of Bradford. His artwork includes art prints, posters, letterheads, newsletters, and murals. Past design commissions have included artwork for ‘Saltaire Inspired’, the South Square Arts Centre, the Bradford Review, and a poster and invitation for the 2019 David Hockney birthday celebrations at Cartwright Hall, Bradford.
See you soon!
We’re thrilled to announce that we are hosting a new monthly show on Manchester’s community radio station Ripe Radio.
