For years, Simon Rivers' The Bitter Springs has released amazing albums, EPs and singles of his brilliantly comedic, literate pop songs and oddball experimental forays.
Now he's re-emerged as Poor Performer, and in a frenzy of writing and recording unleashes not only his debut solo work (on vinyl and downloads), but put together a bonus CD EP of worthy songs which he couldn't fit on the album . . . songs that might have been accompanying singles had it not been for an era of massive vinyl-pressing delays for such things.

The music of The Bitter Springs is a very full experience. In the course of an album the listrener is presented with beauty, anger, melody, and surprises (sonically and lyricall) galore. It's captivating music and this is one of their finest. PS The bonus tracks are outstanding! Andy Waltzer

Love this band! Simon Rivers is one of the UK's greatest song writers and this latest collection of songs is outstanding. Everyone should own this album - on vinyl of course! Jonathan Hodgson
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
The fourth LP from Italy’s Francesca Morello is full of dark-hued, industrial-edged rock songs, delivered with a sneer. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 13, 2021

A work of considerable power and subtlety. Certainly a grower but I was hooked on first listen and it seems to improve on subsequent plays. Well done to everyone involved and good luck for the future, hopefully a long and successful future. simon1956smith
