Found in the Inbox: Eddie Mole — Simon’s Song

Eddie Mole’s next release begins with a friendship. Simon’s Song, scheduled for 21 October 2026, is a tribute to his friend and bandmate Simon Williams, who died earlier this year according to the campaign supplied by Round The Clock PR. Williams plays on Mole’s Letterbox Vision album, giving the song a connection to a shared body of work as well as to a personal loss.

The submission describes the writing as a collective gesture: friends making a song for someone who had been part of their musical lives. Its purpose is specific and direct. Rather than turning that account into a presumed portrait of Williams, the available story keeps the emphasis on what the musicians chose to do together in his memory.

That shared response takes three forms. Alongside the single version, the campaign lists an acoustic version and an extended dance or club treatment. Mole explains the last choice through what he believes Simon would have enjoyed. The variations make the tribute a project with several settings, allowing the same dedication to move beyond one arrangement. Vinyl availability is also stated in the supplied release information.

The Bristol-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist performs both alone acoustically and with a group of musical friends. That flexibility gives useful context to a release built around different versions. His biography describes songs grounded in observation, emotion and humour, with Nick Cave, Lou Reed and Tom Waits among the reference points used to introduce his wider work.

Letterbox Vision connects this single to an existing circle of collaborators in the UK and abroad. The album also provides the practical link to Williams: he was a participant in the music before becoming the person this new song remembers. That distinction gives the release a history beyond the announcement itself.

Mole’s earlier September single, Catchy, approached collective music-making through the energy of a band in the studio. Simon’s Song brings a different reason for gathering: preserving a relationship through a new piece of work. The connection is in the people making music together, even when the occasion changes.

Ahead of the stated October release date, this is an introduction drawn from the campaign’s account of the song. Mole’s official channels and Bandcamp catalogue provide routes into Letterbox Vision and the wider work surrounding the tribute. The central story remains a clear one: friends answering an absence with something they could make together.
