Simon Fox is the former leader of Birmingham’s influential post-rock pioneers Grover. Since then he has quietened down, trading sweeping guitar theatrics for more intimate, acoustic led songwriting. The new songs show a more personal, reflective side as well as a disarming wit and a flair for creating intimate moods. His recordings feature Simon playing a wide variety of instruments, including guitars, banjo, percussion, keyboards, theremin, mandolin, even occasional brass and woodwind. Throughout 2010 Simon is releasing a free song each month as a part of the respect project.
