It's probably nothing to worry about...

Hiya PanPals,

It's been a fun few weeks getting my new album and its music videos out. Thanks to everyone who's supported it so far either via chipping in at Bandcamp or by leaving comments on YouTube and my website! I appreciate it so flippin much!

I've got two new videos to share with you today...

New Videos!

That's Very Funny

A humourless song about humour.

Simon stares with dead eyes into the camera, wearing a red nose, clown lipstick and an insincere smile

I'll Be Fine

An anthem for those who don't like to make a fuss, even when they should.

An uncertain Simon waves his hands in dance, flanked by a ukulele playing Simon, and a double bass playing Simon

If you enjoyed these songs you can find them on my latest album which is available at Bandcamp (pay what you want) and on all streaming services.

Can I Make A Song For You?

Now that I've released this album and its music videos I'm excited to make some new music! I've been on a quest to find ways of making songs without using a computer, and I think I've found a pretty cool lo-fi workflow with my OP-1 (portable synth/sampler/four-track recorder). I'd like to practise, so I thought a good way would be to make some songs for YOU!

If you'd like me to make a little song for you please make a request here and if it floats my boat I'll turn it into a real song! Wahooo!

Good Stuff!

Here are some other things I've been enjoying recently.

Rozi Plain - Prize - Rozi Plain’s new album is a laid back journey through another world, padded with warm synths and gently driving rhythms. I love it!
Sam Greenfield - Sam Greenfield Sucks - This super playful jazz funk funtime fusion album by Sam Greenfield puts both a smile and a funk gurn on my face simultaneously, which is not a pretty sight I can tell you.
Carl Peck's Newsletter - My good buddy and longtime collaborator Carl Peck has started a comic strip newsletter where he shares his work in progress on a bizarre and intriguing new story and behind the scenes titbits. His work is rad and the insights into his process are v interrresting.

That's it for now!

Hope you're doing well, let me know what's going on with you too :)

Besos,

Simon
