Description
Simon Bromide & The Bromides return with Forest Mountain Forest, the second solo outing from South London songwriter Simon Bromide, now recorded under a full band name to reflect a settled line-up. Picking up from Following the Moon, the record leans into chiming guitars, melodic basslines and richly textured arrangements, drawing easy comparisons to Teenage Fanclub, Big Star, The Bevis Frond and Silver Jews. Ed Cosmo Wright (bass), Sam Kelly (drums) and Ollie Parfitt (keys) join Bromide, with Brian OShaughnessy back on production duties. The result is a set of literate, melody-led songs that balance psych shimmer with everyday observation. A lifelong pop obsessive, Bromide channels decades of record-collecting devotion into concise, heartfelt songwriting. Forest Mountain Forest feels like the sound of a band fully formed: warm, tuneful and steeped in guitar-pop tradition without losing its own voice.
