Simon recorded a lot of bands I've written about on the blog. Pretty Bitter, Retirement Party, Truth or Consequences New Mexico, Flowerbomb. Most bands in Chicago crossed paths with him somehow. Unimaginable loss.

Heavenly - Highway to Heavenly

first big indiepop atlas review i've done in a while is for heavenly's new album!

the gist is that it's my least favorite, but that's in less of a "what do you expect from a reunion" way and in more of a "they're going a new direction" way
