“Simon
Rowe’s
‘Shack’
like
debut
conceived
over
several
years
with
the
assistance
of
the
rest
of
Chapterhouse
&
Mojave
3
drummer
Ian
McCutcheon
sounds
like
a
great
lost
dewy-webbed
riverside
folk-rock
comedown
album
from
the
late
’90s.
There
are
touches
of
Tim
Hardin
&
Fred
Neil
here,
even
the
ghost
of
Glen
Campbell
through
the
wire
of
some
of
the
guitar
parts.
The
mood
is
opaque
and
mysterious.
Most
importantly,
the
songs
are
killer.”
5/5
Shindig!
The
poet
Rumi
once
said
“Whatever
sorrow
shakes
from
your
heart,
far
better
things
will
take
their
place”.
A
wonderful,
bittersweet
sentiment
that
radiates
at
the
heart
of
this
debut
record
by
Simon
Rowe,
the
ex-guitarist
from
90’s
legends
Chapterhouse
and
Mojave
3.
Everybody’s
Thinking
is
a
personal
journey
of
layered
sounds
but
with
a
backbone
of
brevity
and
psychedelic
simplicity.
The
influence
of
artists
like
Tim
Hardin,
Syd
Barrett
and
Fred
Neil
emanate
beautifully
and
the
nine
uncomplicated
and
honest
songs
shine
with
unashamed
fragility.
Gathering
past
collaborators
to
help
form
a
gentle
and
melodic
selection
of
songs,
this
recording
was
grown
over
several
years
with
help
from
all
members
of
Chapterhouse
Andrew
Sheriff,
Ashley
Bates
and
Stephen
Patman
and
drumming
assistance
from
Ian
McCutcheon
(Mojave
3
/
HOO),
along
with
recording
help
from
Neil
Halstead
(Slowdive
/
Mojave
3)
and
bass
playing
from
Hamish
Brown
(Revolver).
Mixed
&
assembled
with
Nick
Holton
(at
his
Oaki
Room
Studio)
who
like
the
others
were
so
happy
to
participate
in
the
making
of
this
truly
individual
album
made
by
an
unsung
&
9
beautiful
soul
of
the
shoegaze
era.
Rowe
navigated
for
10
years
a
slow
mighty
river
to
discover
for
us
an
accessible
psychedelic
classic.!
