“Simon Bromide continues his quest to become the music-obsessed, drinking man’s songwriter of choice” Louder Than War
“Bromide may remind some of a certain mid-eighties songsmith who sought to merge an informed literary perspective with the dulcet tones of jangly pop, namely Lloyd Cole & his commotions”” Backseat Mafia

South London’s alternative singer-songwriter Simon Bromide releases Forest Mountain Forest, the first single and title track from his forthcoming album, due out early summer.
Following on from the ex-Bromide frontman’s highly praised debut solo album Following the Moon, there’s a new moniker as well: Simon Bromide and The Bromides, introduced to reflect a more established band lineup for the recording of this second solo release.
The track was produced by Brian O’Shaughnessy (Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, Denim) at Bark Studios in North London & features Ed Wright on bass, Sam Kelly on drums, Ollie Parfitt on keys, backing vocals from Piney Gir and Simon on acoustic & electric guitars.
Simon says of writing the track: “This one popped out when I was jamming another song with a friend. The riff immediately reminded me of a Replacements track ‘Can’t Hardly Wait’ but it was different enough to claim it as my own. The lyrics are pretty self-explanatory if you substitute the title with the words ‘Birth Life Death’.”
