Releasenotes:
Simon Scott was born in Cambridge and spent his early teens drumming for The
Charlottes who released the "Love Happy" album on Bristol's Subway Records and a
second album "Things fall apart" on Cherry Red. After tours with bands such as
Ride, House of Love and Swervedriver he joined Slowdive who signed to Creation
records in 1990. He spent three successful years with Slowdive which included
drumming on the debut "Just for a Day" album and working with Brian Eno on
Slowdive's second album "Souvlaki".
In the late nineties Simon formed alternative/noise/electronica outfit Inner
Sleeve in which he was the primary songwriter and played guitar and sang lead
vocals. They released two singles and one album on Fierce Panda. He later
drummed for Lowgold who signed to Nude records, home of Suede and Ultrasound, in
1999.
Simon formed Televise in 2003 after a rare sighting of his hometown legend and
ex-Pink Floyd hero Syd Barrett inspired him to continue songwriting and "make
the music I want to make". After releasing the Outside Out single on Club AC30
in May, 2005 was spent recording songs for a debut full-length with Pat Collier.
2007 saw a major change in musical direction with "Strings and Wires", taking on
a much more ambient minimal electronic feel. 2007 also saw the birth of
Seavault, Simon's collaboration with Isan's Antony Ryan, who recently released a
single on Morr Music.
This new material is very much the sound of a man following his heartàmaking the
music he wants to make. This new record is called Sometimes Splendid Confusion,
and is the brilliant follow up to both Strings and Wires and Simon's recent
limited edition release "Secret Valentine" on Distant Noise Records.
