Info for Good or Moderate, Occasionally Poor
Good or Moderate, Occasionally Poor is a complete re-imagining of Critchley & Simmons' 2017 album Moderate or Good, Occasionally Poor. Rather than remix the tracks they reconfigured them into a hypnagogic pop collection of family favorites. From the frolicsome ‘So Happy' (with a guest appearance from the dead Philip Seymour Hoffmann) to the evergreen ‘Suicide', with the solemnity of the Shipping Forecast and a heartfelt paean to wickedness, this anthology is a journey through the spectrum of human experience.
Far from mere frivolity, this assortment stands as a testament to the art of storytelling. It challenges conventional expectations, offering a profound exploration of the human condition. Amidst the seriousness, there’s an opportunity to gather, reflect, and transcend the ordinary.
Critchley & Simmons
Critchley & Simmons
not a firm of solicitors, but a gorgeous, throbbing, living experiment in words, sounds and images. A long time collaboration between musician John Simmons and philosopher Simon Critchley.
As a long-standing collaboration, Critchley & Simmons continue to push the boundaries of artistic expression, demonstrating that the fusion of music and philosophy can be a potent medium for exploring the complexities of the human condition. Their body of work stands as a testament to the enduring power of interdisciplinary collaboration, offering audiences a glimpse into a realm where sound and philosophy coalesce, creating an artistic landscape that is as intellectually stimulating as it is sonically captivating.
