Album Review

Bromide
The Trouble With…Bromide Scratchy Records

Article written by Ged M - Aug 10, 2008

Essex-born Simon Berridge is Bromide, a singer-songwriter who switches between romantic indiepop and a more confessional anti-folk style of songwriting. The best tracks on his third album bookend the record: ‘White Blood’ is ultra-catchy, jangly acoustic pop that reminds you of Lloyd Cole, Teenage Fanclub or American Music Club, while ‘Only Love’ brings the record to a shimmering conclusion. In between, it’s a bit mixed; there are some ponderous song titles (‘The Unbearable Lightness of Being’) and half-realised ideas, like the childhood memoir that is ’CK’, all fluttery effects and namedropping the Damned and the Clash, yet it also includes a great version of Guided By Voices’ ‘Game of Pricks’. It misses as much as hits but there’s a good reason for some selective trawling by fans of the doomed romantic strain of indiepop.
