Simon Lord
Having recently released his debut LP titled 'One', an acoustic record tinged with soul, sunshine and psych, with the utmost attention to fidelity sound quality and song writing; he has been supporting critically acclaimed, Robyn Hitchcock on tour around the UK. Lords music is a melodic Polaroid snapshot of influences; Tim Hardin, Shuggie Otis, Bill Withers, Labi Siffre & Robert Wyatt. The musics rawness beautifully contrasts with his ethereal landscape - Catchy, Eerie, melancholy and psychedelic.
You may know Simon already from other projects; including recording alongside Theo Keating (aka Fake Blood / Touché) to form one half of electronic duo The Black Ghosts; their eponymous track Full Moon was used for the opening credits on Twilight. Further ventures have included appearances as guest vocalist for Simian Mobile Disco and personal projects Lord Skywave and Garden.
Following the release of their limited edition vinyl in February 'BIP BIP BIP', the franco-english duo are back with a psychological journey full of romance and drama. Movie soundtrack influences are seamlessly mixed with classical composition with emphasis on vintage instruments and live performance. The Kramford Look enchant lovers of seventies library and film music.
