Simon Bish 'Heart Shape Sky' single review...
Simon Bish, the man behind Pop Noise Records from what I understand. This single from what I understand is a taster to an upcoming full length.
Track one is a song called 'Heart Shape Sky' is a nice melodic acoustic number, a sort of folk pop sound.
Track two is a song called 'Honey Hair' and features an electric guitar this time and as such sounds a little more gritty, once again though remaining quite melodic.
So to sum up, these are two really cool melodic pop songs, sure they don't break any new ground, but really who cares. There just really cool songs that will get stuck in your head. Check them out...
REVIEW FROM INDIES PAGES (www.indiepages.com)
Simon Bish - "Heart Shape Sky EP" cdep (Pop Noise)
Simon is also in Noise Annoys Simon, and is/was involved with most of the other bands on his label, Pop Noise. So, like Simon Goalpost was a scruffy, lo-fi version of the already scruffy Thrilled Skinny, the two songs on this single sound sort of like a lo-fi version of his current band (who are one of my current favorites, by the way). These songs have that same TFC/Monograph style at heart, but sound closer to something like Another Sunny Day (particularly the sweet, but somewhat fey title track). The b-side, "Honey Hair", could've used some extra instrumentation (both songs are essentially just vocals and guitar), but it's not a bad tune on its own.
SIMON BISH plays gently strummed acoustic lo-fi indie.His basic simple chord structures compliment his delicate wistful vocals. Simon Bish is currently recording an lp with the help of Andy Fonda in his garage studio in East Devon.
Simon Bish has released a 3 track cd single on Pop Noise Records which includes the songs 'Heart Shape Sky' 'Only Being Real' and 'Honey Hair'. The 8cm cd is available here for 99p. And also available to download from iTunes.
Simon Bish runs Pop Noise Records, and also plays in Noise Annoys Simon, A Fine Day For Sailing and is a former member of John Peel faves Thrilled Skinny.
