Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as his second full-length album, 'Iffy' is a stark, lo-fi, and highly unpolished statement from Omaha-based singer-songwriter Simon Joyner [5]. Released via Sing, Eunuchs!, the record showcases a skeletal, home-recorded template of anti-folk, slacker rock, and raw indie pop. The songs pair intimate, acoustic-guitar scratching with his deadpan vocal delivery, establishing his early reputation in the midwestern indie underground.
