Simon Loudon

This is the second full-length release for London, who wrote, recorded and performed the entire album himself. Comprised nearly entirely of 4-minute tracks, which at times seems to dawdle along, rather self-indulgently, losing a little steam. The down beat tempo is fairly consistent throughout creating a rather static emotion and musical journey. However, ‘When I went away’ is a welcome departure from previous similar sounding tracks as it is entirely acoustic. ‘Woman’ is more emotionally charged with London letting go vocally while maintaining an underlying anxiety and uneasiness.
