Wyles & Simpson

Unless I'm reading ILM totally wrong, I think several people around here might be into the stuff Abigail Wyles and Holly Simpson are doing together. RIYL, I dunno, The xx and Jessie Ware?

Two singles so far, an album in the spring.

"Stormy Skies"

Thanks, JF! I love this.
You do?
Absolutely. You have great taste.
You're too kind.

Haha, I listened to these and never bothered writing a reply. Sounds promising without being spectacular, closer to Ware than Lanza which is nice.

I prefer "Light and Dark" to "Stormy Skies," but it seems like they want the latter to be their proper intro considering the quite expensive-looking video.

Yeah I liked these, far enough from The XX for me to enjoy.

three weeks pass...

I think Amazon accidentally released this album early (by leaving the "3" off March 23). Oops!

Hmm, some of this is too sleepy for me (or maybe the mood I'm in). But the stuff that isn't is really great.

one month passes...

This album is terrific. I'm bewildered that they're not being pushed - if London Grammar can amass a big following, so should these two.

Maybe it's the name? They sound like solicitors.

bae sremmurd (monotony), Wednesday, 15 April 2015 03:45 (ten years ago)

Thanks for the bump. I'm gonna give it another go and see if I like the whole thing more now.

Oh man, the chord progression in the bridge of "Einfall" is stunning.

five months pass...
