Son Of Simon is the solo project from London based band Midgar's vocalist Andy Wilson-Taylor.

Since Midgar's most recent tour and album release, Andy has been focusing his attention towards composition for film and TV, writing music for an incredible variety of clients, including critically acclaimed independent films, huge companies like Coca Cola, McDonalds and Verizon, and more unusual endeavours such as the Platypus Institute. Andy also writes songs for other artists and is currently collaborating with dance music producers from all over the world. Putting all of that to one side, it was time for Andy to create music for his own passion once again.

Rivers / Pastures is the title of the debut album of the Son Of Simon project, and is a full length, split release comprising of two distinct parts, Rivers and Pastures.

Rivers was first imagined when Andy took to a two month trip to Asia in late 2015. Having none of his musical instruments to hand - and frustrated by the lack of a musical outlet - Andy bought a ukulele to travel with. What followed was a notepad full of songs written with the ukulele at the centre, backed by a dark, folk orchestra. Rivers tells the story of a man wishing to escape his stressful, modern life and connect with nature, only to be seduced by a dangerous siren who pulls him into the underworld.

Pastures moves into more familiar singer/songwriter territory and tells a more personal story.

The entire album, and all of its constituent parts were created by Andy, who wrote the music and lyrics, performed every part on the record, produced, mixed and mastered it and self-released it on all major digital platforms on July 11th. Give Rivers / Pastures a chance streaming it on Spotify!
