Today, March 10, Dutch britpop band Anemone releases their new album Freebird. Yesterday they celebrated this one with a release party at V11 in Rotterdam.

After years of criss-crossing the country with their debut album Silver Star, Anemone digs a layer deeper with the brand new record Freebird. An album full of psychedelic Britpop with a taste of shimmering folk. On which musical waves crash over each other in extended songs and pointy pop songs that tell about friendships, relationships and trust.

In the Schenk Studio in Amsterdam, Anemone takes this new path, the place where artists such as zZz, Nouveau Vélo, Lewsberg and Amber Arcades preceded the band. Now it’s time to share this new work with the rest of the world. They started sharing in Rotterdam, the home port of the band, with the release party at V11.

This album is available on vinyl and as a digital album here: https://www.gentlemenrecordings.com/product/anemone-freebird/

Seb Wesson’s new album the Man From the Moon is his first solo full album release. Having cut his teeth working with UK band Munkster he toured opening for the likes of Biffy Clyro and Damien Rice. Post the demise of this Munkster he spent years as a side and session man for artists as well as working on other band projects such as Misdirectors, a Captain side project (Seb is also current guitarist in the band Captain). Then more recently has been working on a solo writing project which began with the Tigers EP in 2017. This follow up is the sum of the last few years of creativity including the lockdown period in global history and draws from Influences such as Elliott Smith, Damien Rice and Tom pett. This new record includes some input from some incredible musicians including Paul Stewart and Ciaran Jeramiah from The Feeling, Iain Hornal of 10CC and ELO, Alex Yeoman from Captain, Alex Richards of Mohair as well as Sinead Quinn, Hope Winter, Stuart Wilkinson and many other superbly talented musicians that are also good friends. The record was written and produced by Seb and was mixed and Mastered by Jo Webb.

The Fire is the first single from this new work and features all the layered vocals, electric and acoustic guitar parts, as well as warm keyboard textures, killer rhythm sections and experienced song writing that make up The Man From the Moon.
