Second solo album from Simon Bromide and friends. South London singer-songwriter Simon Bromide returns with a new album Forest Mountain Forest, continuing on from 2021’s highly praised 'Following the Moon' - “From the first sparkling chords, this draws you into Simon Bromide’s world where the ghosts of Johnny Marr, Peter Perrett & XTC joust with the psychedelic sounds & neo-folk herein” 9/10 Vive Le Rock “Byrdsian lustre, psychedelic haze, far-flung exotica, gritty northern soul and Kinksy visions of London life on this wide-ranging debut solo album.. It’s quite the trip” 8/10 Classic Rock “Lyrically smart, musically lush, loose & luxuriant… one of the best new singer/songwriters you’ve never heard-of, until now” Louder Than War This time there’s a new moniker - Simon Bromide & The Bromides to reflect a more established band lineup for the recording, with Ed ‘Cosmo’ Wright returning for bass duty, Sam Kelly on drums (son of famous 60s ‘blueser’ Dave Kelly), Ollie Parfitt on keys and Simon on acoustic & electric guitars. Brian O‘Shaughnessy (Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, Denim & Beth Orton) was once again on production duties at Bark Studios. The name might have changed but the touchpoints are similar – Teenage Fanclub / Big Star, The Bevis Frond, Silver Jews & Mark Eitzel. 'Forest Mountain Forest' is essentially another of Simon's fanboy scrapbooks. “Ever since I saw a black & white image of The Beatles on my mum’s tv in 1976 I’ve been hooked by this thing called pop music” explains Simon, “I’ve been devoured by it. It informs pretty much every moment of every waking day in one way or another and writing & performing songs has become a lifelong pursuit”.
