Seven Simons Clockwork 1988 Sky
Seven Simons Clockwork 1988 Sky
I cant believe Ive waited this long to post something by Seven Simons, especially since Ive owned this as long as Ive been doing W/O. That aside, the Simons were a not oft spoken of band from that noted 80s hotbed, Athens, GA. Their debut, Clockwork, doesnt necessarily boast the aesthetics that region became synonymous with, but its not entirely removed either. Theres more than a scintilla of a collegiate pop penchant here, vividly recalling the Smithereens and Miracle Legion at moments. "Sasparilla" has a mildly serrated, post-punk undercurrent, "Sadder Sound" is a sublime slice of acousti-pop, and "Lavender Bubbles" hangs a wily hook occupying a sweet spot between Husker Du and Men at Work. The Simons reunited last year in fact, reconvening for a belated "third" album, Post, which predominantly consists of vintage outtakes, and even a handful of new songs.
