Simon Love

Witty garage pop rock - second album 'Sincerely, S.Love x' was released on Tapete Records to much critical acclaim, following the WELSH MUSIC PRIZE-NOMINATED debut 'It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time'.

Simon is now working on his 3rd album to be released on Tapete in 2021.

Proper pop hits with ELO harmonies, lush production, strings and 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 and THE RAMONES.
