Sid Simons
Today, performing under his own name but with support from essentially the same core group of talented players who made up GIRL SKIN, plus a rotating confederacy of brilliant collaborators, Sid has gathered another magnetic and poetic collection of songs that hook you in from the get-go and don’t let up until the final crucial note of ‘Beneath the Brightest Smiles’.
The album was created in collaboration with Gordon Raphael, acclaimed producer of the Strokes first two landmark albums, Regina Spektor, Skin, Blonde Redhead and many other major acts. Raphael was a natural fit for Sid’s latest collection of songs and flew in from his home in the UK to work with the band at Mercy Sound Recording Studio in the East Village.
‘Beneath the brightest Smiles’ will be released by Jullian Records on June 23rd and available on all platforms.
