Sunbirds’ new five-track EP, 15% Happier, is a snapshot of an album under construction.

Recorded in Manchester and Liverpool across two sessions with Nigel Stonier and Steve Levine. The songs were originally intended for A Life Worth Living, but unforeseen circumstances changed everything. That album will now be released in 2027 by the next line-up. Every penny raised from this EP goes straight into the 2027 recording budget.

This is as far as we got: - five songs featuring Dave Hemingway and Laura Wilcockson on vocals, Mark Parnell on drums, Jerry Jobson on bass, and Chris and Phil on guitar. It also introduces Chris stepping into the spotlight in his role as the band’s future lead singer on the brand-new track "Bring It Back".

All songs by Phil and Chris. Each tells its own story, but we'll leave the meanings to you.

1. Make Up Your Mind
2. Right Place Wrong Time
3. Hey!
4. Every Road
5. Bring It Back*
