At first glance, Simon Godfrey is a highly prolific songwriter and performer – after all, the Philadelphia-based Englishman masterminded such prominent progressive rock ensembles as TINYFISH and SHINEBACK, plus a more under-the-radar project TRIBE OF NAMES – yet, when one looks past collective efforts, the singing multi-instrumentalist issued only one proper platter credited to his own name, “Motherland” from 2014. In the decade which passed since then Simon released a joint record with his brother Jem and no less then four volumes of assorted pieces – some old, like outtakes and live cuts, and some new – so it’s about time Godfrey came forth with a second solo offering.
