Editorial Reviews

The debut solo album from Oliver Sim - vocalist and bassist of The xx, Hideous Bastard is a deeply self-confessional journey of fear and shame inspired by the queer horror films he loves. Oliver is joined by Jamie xx, who produces Hideous Bastard with an elegant touch, and Jimmy Somerville (Bronski Beat), an angel, who takes us to the heavens. Full of surreal pop sounds that escape into the ether and break free, Hideous Bastard is a bold and ambitious debut that sees Oliver explore his voice and his capacity to evoke emotion, melding masculinity and tenderness, beauty with a baritone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deep, Unique, Sincere
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2023

British singer and bassist Oliver Sim's "Hideous Bastard" is equally challenging and rewarding for the listener. He is also part of The XX. His music is stunning is because it's so different. It challenges the listener. The opening track "Hideous" is beautiful. Most of us have parts of us that we think are unattractive or make us unlovable. In a wash of gorgeous soaring backing vocals and a guitar that seems played by a pixie, he reveals in the lyric that he has HIV, something that makes him feel 'hideous.' Stark and challenging. "Romance with a Memory" has a tribal beat with a trippy melody and instruments that seem to be flitting out of control, yet I keep spinning it. "Fruit" may be my very favorite track with its other-worldly melody as Sim appears to adjust coming out, "If I've got my father's eyes, I've got my mother's smile." This is a stunning CD, deep, unique, sincere. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wenn ein Album mit den Worten „I‘m ugly“ beginnt…
Reviewed in Germany on September 18, 2022

… kündigt sich leise und bescheiden ein erholsamer Kontrapunkt zu doch sehr ich-verliebten Musiktrends an. Vielleicht zu leise: Als ich das Vinyl-Album pünktlich zum Erscheinungsdatum geliefert bekam, war ich mir relativ sicher, dass sich innerhalb einer Woche Rezensionen locker im dreistelligen Bereich finden würden – schließlich ist Oliver Sim ein Drittel der beinahe legendären The XX. Dass dies hier die erste Rezension dieses meiner Meinung nach in vielerlei Hinsicht genialen Albums wird, mag dann wohl auch dem Umstand geschuldet sein, dass die Promo eher bescheiden lief, die Tour ausfiel und Bassisten wohl einfach nicht durchstarten, wenn sie nicht gerade McCartney oder Sting heißen.
Dabei hat es, wie ich finde, Oliver Sim durchaus verdient, gehört und auch außerhalb von The XX wahrgenommen zu werden, auch wenn das Album nicht der Versuchung erliegt, auf Teufel komm‘ ‘raus diesem Referenzrahmen zu entkommen (deutlich bei „Saccharine“). Wahrscheinlich wird der Produzent Jamie XX, das zweite Drittel besagter Band, mehr oder weniger bewusst dafür gesorgt haben, dass „Hideous Bastard“ dort bezüglich Sound und Melodien weiter macht, wo „I see you“ aufgehört hat – aber Sim ist souliger, rhythmischer und ein weniger pompöser, als es The XX je waren oder sein wollten. Herausgekommen ist ein unaufgeregtes, unaufdringliches, teilweise tieftrauriges Album, das sich durchaus leise nebenbei hören lässt, das seine detailverliebten Schätze und harmonischen Tiefen aber am eindruckvollsten zu erkennen gibt, wenn es auch mal richtig laut gedreht wird. Verzweifeltes Füllmaterial sucht man meines Erachtens vergeblich auf dem Album; hörenswert sind die Songs alle. Aber definitive Highlights sind das von Jimmy Somerville supportete „Hideous“, „Sensitive Child“ und „Confident Man“. Wenn es etwas zu beanstanden gäbe, dann höchstens, dass so mancher Stimmen-Effekt quantitativ ausgereizt wurde und dass das Album zu schnell „fertig“ ist (10 Songs, 34 Minuten).
