"One of the most beautiful records of the year"

"One of the most beautiful records of the year" - Indiemusic


"une ballade apaisante, bienfaitrice"

« Des studios mythiques de Sigur Rós, dans lesquels il s’est enfermé seul pendant deux semaines, INDOLORE a ramené une ballade apaisante, bienfaitrice » - Les Inrocks


"Best EP of the month"

(french) Indolore, c’est le projet solo de Guillaume Simon, ancien membre du groupe Shine, qui avait fait quelques vagues en France. Le trio s’était retrouvé à ouvrir pour Sia en Angleterre puis de faire une tournée avec Morcheeba. Finalement, après trois albums, le groupe s’est dissous. On retrouve Simon sous le nom Indolore et il vient nous présenter les cinq pièces de Positive Girls. C’est un folk plutôt tranquille qui se rapproche du groupe belge The Feather avec les immenses envolées en moins. La pièce-titre du maxi est particulièrement savoureuse avec sa mélodie accrocheuse. - Le Canal Auditif (Montreal, Canada)


"Julian Lennon pick of the week"

One of BZ's good friends is back in the saddle of music... Guillaume Simon formerly behind the band Shine has returned with his solo project called Indolore. We love his description of his return, "It’s never too late to start it all over again, never too late to hit the road and leave the past behind."
What a great statement that runs very deep in thought, much like the 5 EP release by Guillaume, songs that are rich in emotion and vocals that are beautifully crafted and placed. Indolore translation to english means 'painless', and we are happy to hear this is the mindset of our good friend. - Below Zero (San Francisco, USA)


"Best EP of Autumn"

(french) Après l’aventure Shine, le Parisien Guillaume Simon part en solo sur ce projet féérique. On a envie de rester couché à l’écoute de ses jolies comptines pop-folk aux couleurs Nick Drakiennes et de se laisser bercer par les arpèges enivrants de sa guitare acoustique. Le piano mélancolique et la voix douce et rêveuse dont s’échappent des envolées épiques et chœurs lumineux, sont propices à l’évasion. - Longueurs d'Ondes (Paris, France)


"Interview & live acoustic sessions"

(french) Découvert chez Froggy 's Delight en 2004 au sein du groupe Shine, Guillaume Simon nous revient avec un nouveau projet. Plus personnel, Indolore se présente avec la délicatesse d'un premier amour et la sagesse d'un puits sans fond. Insondable, mystérieux et poétique, son premier EP intitulé Positive Girls, charme à l'aide d'une simple guitare et d'une faconde passionnée. L’homme nous a invité chez lui pour une session intimiste et s’est plié à nos questions. Rencontre. - Froggy's Delight (Paris, France)

INDOLORE featured in the very selective Simon Raymonde show on february 2nd 2015 - Amazing Radio (London, UK)

Bio

From his distant Irish roots, Indolore has kept a happy guilt. Since his first steps and clumsy snoggings on the dunes of the French West Coast, he has sprinkled his way with a luminous melancholy. During his life in Paris, he cultivated a so-called modern romanticism, an erotic folk, between dopamine and slaps in the face. From his sudden travels, from his openings for Sia and Morcheeba, from his collaborations with the legendary Terry Reid, from his thoughtless love stories, he has retained and nurtured a lively and damnably tenacious flame. From his first EP "Positive Girls", he gained confidence, with the enthusiastic reception of the track "Je rêve d'é", the experience of numerous concerts alone on stage and the recognition, up to that of the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. From his following album, "Love Letters from Eylenda", recorded at Sigur Rós’ mothership studio in Iceland, he brought back a pure, unique adventure and an indie hit, the opening song, "Let Me Find Out".
