Leeds-based trio Gotts Street Park has an intense schedule ahead following the fresh release of their debut album, On The Inside, out now via Blue Flowers. The 12-track musical project is a big deal for them, as they explore genre-defying territory, blending vintage soul with alt-R&B synths. The last track teasing the album, “Tell Me Why,” is a collaboration with the trio’s long-time collaborator, Olivia Jones, and has a close-to-home feeling. “[She is] a good friend of ours who we met in Leeds over a decade ago! She’s been singing in our live show for the past year or so, and we wanted to have her featured on the album.” Commenting further, they add, “This tune seemed the perfect fit for her voice and style to shine – we had the instrumental tracked out a few years ago, and she jumped on recently and gave it a new lease of life.”

The trio is formed by Josh Crocker (bass & production), Tom Henry (keys) and Joe Harris (guitar). According to them, On The Inside is more than an album — it’s an invitation. “We want listeners to feel like they’re stepping into a room with us, peering into our process.”

Here, we add a visual element to this experience as the trio opens their personal records to Wonderland and takes us on a journey backstage during the recording days of the album with this shot-on-film photo diary. Keep scrolling…
