Steven X Davies From the way “you” is a lament to yearning and wanting to be loved to the amazing song I miss the sun. This album hits the ground running and draws you back into the pre covid life with the wonderful lyrics. Already this album already has cemented itself as something very special. “Don’t worry” is a great mantra from your friend standing by your side in anxious times. and it sounds so beautiful A collection of beautifully crafted and performed songs for everyone. Simon is shining bright here.

about

My 8th album is a meditation on love, loss and acceptance, influenced by The Go-Betweens, Mazzy Star, The Field Mice and The Fat Tulips. I tried to make this one as emotionally direct as I could. It was written during a difficult time and I had to get these feelings out, but somehow despite that it may well be my most optimistic record so far.


Review from Monolith Cocktail:
If buying an album of sublime modern day psych folk with a touch of indie pop is on your bucket list well I am here to help. For what we have here is an album of well-crafted heartfelt songs of the aforementioned.

The album gently kicks off with the lovingly atmospheric Nick Drake like ‘You’, which is followed by a beautiful melodious ‘I Miss The Sun’, a song worthy of Grant McLennan in the halcyon days of The Go Betweens, which is then followed by a piano ballad, ‘Don’t Worry’. Three tracks in and all beautifully written and performed and different to the one previous, and that is what is so annoying about this album. No not annoying because it’s an album of pure excellence, but for the fact that Simon is not ‘Better Known’ than he is. For songwriters with his talent and heart should be clutched to the music lovers’ collective bosom and cherished. There is no reason at all why this album should not be a huge success: it has radio friendly indie songs – ‘Boats In The Sky’ should be all over the radio -; it’s perfect indie pop – the wonderfully entitled ‘The Wild Wandering Of Wildebeest’, but for the “They don’t give a fuck” chorus that might cut down on radio play for that particular little gem of a track.

Not everyone can record a 8 minute plus song of bewitching guitar jangle without it getting a bit boring but Simon pulls it off with what I think is the centrepiece to the album, ‘Windswept’, which any Red House Painters fans might want to lend an ear to.

So It Goes is an album that deserves to finally give Simon Waldram the recognition he deserves, as I do not think I have heard a better album this year, and this could well be his 16 Lovers Lane.
