Dirty Sunbeams speak to C Douglas about his solo venture and forthcoming EP ‘75019’ on Golden Lion Sounds

Splitting his time between Todmorden and Paris, James Douglas Clarke has struck upon a new-found creative sparkle that is less indie-rock and more synth-pop.

C Douglas’ debut EP '75019' will be released this September on Golden Lion Sounds.

Originally from Todmorden and now based in Paris, C Douglas has been a close friend of the Golden Lion over its ten year history, including playing sold out gigs with his former band The Goa Express. He now brings his solo project to the Golden Lion's label.

The EP was made with Steve Cobby at his studio over the duration of two sunny weeks. The first single ‘At First’ is out today. It's a track bathed in warm synths and bass that confronts the various stages of growing up, whilst opening up on the past and future possibilities.

You can now pre-order the album over at Bandcamp, stream the single and watch the music video - shot in Paris by Radio Sofa - on YouTube.

A limited vinyl run of the EP will be available also.

Sounds From The Flightpath Estate Volume 2

Pre-orders are now live.

https://www.goldenlionsounds.com/product/sounds-from-the-flightpath-estate-volume-2

Expected release date 29/08/2025.

1,500 copies, double vinyl in gatefold sleeve.
Everything about Sounds From The Flightpath Estate Volume 1 exceeded our expectations. The artists. The music. The sleeve art. Selling 500 copies in a day. Being named 6 Music Compilation Of The Week. Raising over £6000 for Andrew’s chosen charities…

Volume 1 featured new and exclusive music from Hardway Bros, Justin Robertson’s Deadstock 33s, The Light Brigade (David Holmes), Richard Sen, Sons Of Slough, Timothy J Fairplay, 10:40, Rude Audio and an Andy Bell cover of a Sabres Of Paradise track and opened with a Two Lone Swordsmen track that was at that point unreleased on vinyl.

Sounds From The Flightpath Estate Vol. 2 is out this summer, ten more tracks inspired and influenced by the spirit of Andrew Weatherall - and all exclusive to this release. It features an unreleased Sabres Of Paradise track, new music from Richard Fearless (Death In Vegas), A Certain Ratio and Number, Red Snapper, Richard Norris, David Harrow, Dicky Continental, Bedford Falls Players, Unit 14 and a Two Lone Swordsmen cover by Sleaford Mods.

Andrew Weatherall is behind all of this. His spirit, his music and his way of doing things - it’s what this is all about.
The musicians and producers on this record are all connected to him in some way. His influence is always there, just out of sight, at the fringes, a presence in the shadows...

'Waka, The Golden Lion’s landlord, told us not long after Sounds From The Flightpath Volume 1 came out that the key to it all is this- ‘imagine it: create it’.

The Emanations - Better Days / Rumrunner (GLS019)

Now available to pre-order. Released on 15 February 2025.

Most notably their epic take on 'Love And Hate In A Different Time' by Gabriels for Parlophone, their two Heavenly Records remixes for Melbourne group Confidence Man, 'Out The Window' and 'Does It Make You Feel Good', and the current 'Loose Fit' mix for the Happy Mondays on London Records.
