nothing less than sweet British guitar based indie-pop from the second LP from
Australian based, but British born singer- songwriter Simon
Morel.
Simon’s
second record, intelligently dubbed ‘Record #2’ is a guitar led Brit-rock inspired
record- think everything from Teenage Fanclub to UK Squeeze- where Morel has
channelled 60s PowerPop and combined it with story based songwriting. Produced
by Michael Carpenter ‘Record #2’ is available in stores throughout Australia via MGM
distribution.
About
Record #2, NotLame.com says "[Morel is] An emerging, important new arrival
on the power pop scene and the pay-off is big here on "Record #2". Hot4s Magazine add “expect to be gifted with
some of the best hooks and melodies around…superb”. His debut CD “Songs from the City” also drew
praise, touted as “a pretty perfect debut” by lunaKafe.com and “a collection of
eleven superbly produced and played pure pop gems” by Malcolm Carter of UK
Music Magazine PennyBlackMusic.
Simon Morel has a music career that
stretches over the last 15 years, having played the UK university circuit in a
variety of bands from a mid 90's pop
combo to a 12 piece funk orchestra.
A
regular of the Sydney indie pop live scene, Simon has played at various Sydney,
Melbourne, Perth and Newcastle venues including The Annandale, The Basement,
The Sandringham, The Vanguard, The Hopetoun and The Excelsior.
In
addition to the regular live Sydney shows, Simon
toured Japan, France, Germany,
the UK and Spain in 2005
in support of his debut release.
Alongside
his live performances, Simon has been featured as a live studio guest on
‘Arvos’ on FBi 94.5FM, ‘AcousticA’ on 2SER 107.3FM and has had airplay on over
40 stations across Australia.
