Exacting their focus on 2023, rising Leeds collective GOTTS STREET PARK unveil their sultry new single ‘Mountains’. The track is the latest from their forthcoming debut album, ‘On The Inside’, releasing 13th October 2023 via label-home, Blue Flowers.
Close behind recent singles ‘Got To Be Good’ ft. Pip Millett and ‘Fuego’, new offering ‘Mountains’ sees Gotts Street Park deliver a remarkable rap-soul reckoning with ‘Peng Black Girls’ hitmaker, ENNY. A union from its early notes that submerges listeners into another cinematic Gotts Street Park experience.
Replete with their seamless grooves of reel-to-reel keys, guitars and snares, ‘Mountains’ doubles down on the rising trio’s mesmerising, moving and marvelously inventive sound. A sound that demands to be shared, while marking a milestone in the evolution of one of the UK’s most spellbinding collectives.
Debut album ‘On The Inside’ is a 12-track window into Gotts Street Park’s world. It’s a world that has been expanding since the group was formed in Leeds by Josh Crocker (bass, production), Tom Henry (keys) and Joe Harris (guitar). What began as an outlet for their shared love for sixties Motown, soon became a jewel in the Yorkshire scene’s creative crown, with over 65 million Spotify streams to their name and some of hip-hop and pop’s most exciting emerging voices requesting collaborations: Celeste, Kali Uchis, Yellow Days and Rachel Chinouriri are just a few of the acts the band have individually written/produced for. In 2021, the trio dropped Diego, a cinematic EP inspired by The Godfather and the works of Japanese auteur Yasujirō Ozu. After building legions of fans with velvety singles like Everything feat. Devon-born singer Rosie Lowe and Favourite Kind of Girl feat. Swedish talent Flikka, it was a cinematic curve-ball that underlined their impossible-to-pin-down energy.
Diego bolstered Gotts Street Park’s reputation as analogue-inspired visionaries carving something new from something old, with Loud and Quiet, BBC 6 Music, Clash and The Line of Best Fit among the outlets singing their praises.
