Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released on the independent One Hour label, 'Room Temperature' represents a raw, unadorned, and highly personal early collection from Simon Joyner. The double album balances stripped-down acoustic folk-rock with deadpan slacker rock tempos and low-key bedroom recordings. It captures a quiet, unpolished, and deeply sincere midwestern atmosphere that lays the creative groundwork for his subsequent larger studio albums.
