In a modern world of disposable digital content and short-life singles/EP’s, Bayside blues/folk singer-songwriter Simon Imrei is paying homage to the days of cassette tapes and old vinyl 78’s with a special two-part, ‘two-sided’ album, The Sum of Scenes, which he’ll be launching Friday June 15th at Chapel Off Chapel in Prahran.Read on for more info and show details…
Simon Imrei – ‘Let Go’ single launch on Sunday Oct 29 @Bar Open
Introducing SIMON IMREI.
Simon Imrei is proud to launch his new single ‘Let Go’ on Sunday October 29 at Bar Open, Fitzroy, 317 Brunswick St, Fitzroy, 8pm.
Tickets are $10 +bf at: http://bit.ly/SimonImrei.
Simon will be joined by his full live band, along with special guests Delsinki Records & Brooke Taylor and Millington.
‘Let Go’ is the debut single from Simon’s new 2-part album ‘’The Sum of Scenes’ to be released in early 2018.
Lyrically, the song plays with the idea of fear and the struggle to come to terms with yourself but also the difficulty in portraying your “true self” to the outside world.
‘Let Go’ is punctuated by ethereal vocals and eerie synth undertones. A signature acoustic guitar riff weaves through every verse, mingling with lush harmonies and swelling guitars.
It was recorded and mixed by Kye Thomas at Salt Studios and mastered by Adam Dempsey at Deluxe Mastering.
Players:
Leigh Fisher (Drums), Josh Bridges (Bass), Robbie Melville (Guitar), Sam Cope (Keys), Louise MacGregor (BV), Nova Marsh (BV), Rob Grozdan (BV)
