About this item

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'.

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”.
