REVIEW: SIMON BISH – YOU GET TO LIVE A FEW GOOD DAYS
Simon Bish
You Get To Live A Few Good Days
(Pop Noise Records)
Fine gentle indie-pop from Simon Bish, who previously sang in Thrilled Skinny, the John Peel-favoured indie-punk-poppers from the early ‘90s. More recently, Mr Bish has been fronting the Exeter-based four-piece, Noise Annoys Simon, as well as running his own label, Pop Noise Records. On this, his solo debut, he keeps up his melodic vocal style, but with a more laidback sound, which is mainly acoustic with drums, cello, acoustic guitar and melodica. In his own words, it’s “pop-soaked melancholic acoustic lo-fi indie rock with delicate vocals and gently strummed guitar.” Amen to that. What’s there not to like?
