Euros Childs Biography
Euros Childs (/ˈ tʃ aɪ l d z / ; Welsh: [ˈəirɔs] ; born 16 April 1975) is a Welsh musician and songwriter, perhaps best known as the frontman for the band Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci and—as of January 2019—the keyboardist for Teenage Fanclub. His sister, violinist Megan Childs, was also a member of Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci, and their father Lynn played on some Gorky’s recordings, most notably on Barafundle. Childs was born in Freshwater East, Pembrokeshire, and was educated at the Welsh-medium school Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Bro Myrddin in Carmarthenshire.
His first solo music appeared in 2005, and his first single, “Donkey Island”, was released on Wichita Recordings in November of that year. His band for the subsequent UK tour included Gorky’s drummer Peter Richardson and fellow Welsh musician Alun Tan Lan, who also has occasionally opened for Childs.
Childs’ first solo album, Chops, was released on Wichita in February 2006, quickly followed by the other single from the album, “Costa Rita”. By the middle of 2006, Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci had announced their split, allowing Childs and Richard James to focus on their solo projects.
Childs’ second solo album, the all-Welsh language Bore Da, was released in March 2007. This was followed in August of the same year by The Miracle Inn.
His fourth album, Cheer Gone, was released in October 2008. It was recorded over six days in Nashville with a band that included Richardson and Stephen Black, and had contributions from several Nashville musicians including Matt Swanson of Lambchop.
2009 also saw Childs form the duo Jonny with Teenage Fanclub’s Norman Blake. They released their debut, Jonny, in 2011.
In 2009, Childs released his fifth album, Son of Euro Child, on his newly formed label National Elf. The album was available as a free download as well as on CD, and it began his current trend of releasing all his music through his official website on a “pay what you can” basis.
The album Ends was released on 28 November 2011. Its songs consist mostly of vocals and piano, with Megan Childs contributing violin on four of the 10 tracks.
Summer Special was released on 20 August 2012, with a band consisting of Childs, Jones, Black, Stuart Kidd, and Megan Childs. The first single and video was “That’s Better”. The second single was “Be Be High” with the non-album B-side “The Surgeon”.
In 2012, Childs established another duo, Cousins, this time with Race Horses’ Meilyr Jones, who had previously appeared on Bore Da and The Miracle Inn. Their album First Cousins was released on 12 March 2012 on National Elf.
The album Situation Comedy was released on 21 October 2013, preceded by the single “Tête à Tête” on 14 October. In his NME review that rated the album 8/10, Tom Pinnock called it “a set of witty piano-pop songs” with “a grim undertone”. He opined that the closing 14-minute track “Trick of the Mind” was “perhaps Childs’ most beautiful song ever”.
In late 2014, Childs released his new album Eilaag, on CD and download through his website. Seven of the nine tracks are instrumental pieces for solo piano, the other two being solo vocal pieces accompanied by solo piano. His 11th studio album, Sweetheart came out on 2 October 2015. It featured a full band consisting of Marco Rea (guitar/backing vocals), Stuart Kidd (drums/backing vocals), Rhydian Jones (bass) and Laura J. Martin (flute). The album was recorded by Iwan Morgan in the village of Freshwater East.
On 9 December 2016, the next Childs album Refresh! was released on his label National Elf, preceded by streaming of the song Pick It Up (a song about cleaning after one’s dog). Refresh! was recorded in collaboration with Stephen Black (Sweet Baboo) at Gus Dungeon II Studios, Cardiff, and consists of 24 songs made entirely of Euros’s voice fed through a sampler, with exception of synth on Pick It Up and toy piano on Sky / Sea. As usual, the album is available on download, CD and vinyl.
Childs’s next album, House Arrest, will be released on 17 November 2017. It was recorded at Gus Dungeon Studios (i.e. his Pembrokeshire home) and features the single My Colander. The album release will be accompanied by a full UK tour, Childs’s first since 2015.
In January 2017 Childs released an EP collaboration with Rosie Smith of Oh Peas! under the name Tim’s Rice. The EP, Mixed Ability Pilates, was available as a pay-what-you-like download.
On 16 January 2019, Teenage Fanclub announced that Childs had joined them on keyboards and vocals.
