Simon Love

Witty garage pop rock - second album 'Sincerely, S. Love x' was released on Tapete Records to much critical acclaim, following WELSH MUSIC PRIZE-NOMINATED debut 'It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time'. Simon Love is now working on his 3rd album due in 2021 on Tapete.

Proper pop hits with ELO harmonies, lush production, strings & trumpets, swirling organ - the whole shebang. Think 1910 FRUITGUM COMPANY, early ELTON JOHN, FATHER JOHN MISTY, THE LEFT BANKE, THE RUTLES, THE KINKS, DANIEL JOHNSTON, THE BEACH BOYS, LOVIN' SPOONFUL, THE RAMONES.
