Charlotte Carpenter Releases New EP 'Shelter' Today

Charlotte Carpenter is proud to release her new EP 'Shelter' today, out now digitally and on 10" vinyl through her own imprint, Let It Go Records. The EP comprises of two brand new songs, lead track 'Shelter' and the dark and brooding 'Hey Mr Cowboy', coupled by previous releases 'Fire' and 'Lately', featured for the first time on vinyl.

To mark the day of release, Charlotte has revealed a new video for the track 'Hey Mr Cowboy' which perfectly encapsulates the mood and tone of the song.

"The video for 'Hey Mr Cowboy' is a bit of a storyteller," explains Charlotte. "The director, Joe Phipps, wanted to embrace the dark feel of the track and create something which would represent the dark side of human life. We started to talk about sins, addictions, traits we hide from others and formed the idea of creating a character who would take on all of seven deadly sins. We wanted to channel some Kubrick, Spike Jonze and almost make it an addictive, yet uneasy watch in itself. Jess, our actress was incredible and embraced every dark and random idea we threw her way. Even when we asked her to down two pints at once."

To celebrate the launch of 'Shelter', Charlotte starts a UK tour that begins in Birmingham on Monday 23rd and ends on the 1st of November for her biggest London show to date, at the prestigious St Pancras Old Church.
