why we love this

United across 6000 miles, Hugh and Brian have meticulously crafted a suite of ten compositions that abound with tender melodies and heartfelt expressions. Reflective as it is uplifting, this album gracefully invites a delicate dance of inquiry and revelation, where questions seamlessly find their answers within the harmonious interplay of sound.

about the record

‘The Side I Never See’ is a shimmering suite of ten compositions for piano, saxophone, synthesizer and guitar by Hugh Small and Brian Allen Simon.

Hugh forms half of Scottish post-punk duo Vazz, whose work was the subject of a recent retrospective by Belgian label Stroom. Brian is known best for his solo project Anenon, under which name he has released four full length albums and multiple remixes for artists including Ryuichi Sakamoto.

An improvised recording of Brian playing over the Vazz piece ‘Kazimierz’ catalysed this long-distance collaboration. 2000 feet up a mountain in Andalucia, Hugh heard the recording on a broadcast of Brian’s dublab LA radio show. Immediately taken in by Brian’s playing, the pair soon established contact and began discussing the possibility of working together to create something new. The rest, as they say, is history.
