With the release of this EP, we're highlighting the work of YoungMinds: the UK's leading charity committed to improving the emotional well-being and mental health of children and young people. This is a subject about which we feel very strongly, based on our own experiences.

Lupen Crook was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder in his late teens and this condition has informed much of his creative output over the past decade. This release of this EP marks his intention to acknowledge this openly and to raise awareness of the charity's work.

Most of the songs on this EP are very new, written recently and recorded with this project in mind. Please share them, spread the word, donate generously and encourage others to do the same. This is a not-for-profit release and all donations go directly to YoungMinds.
