CORRECTION: A previous version of this article incorrectly quoted Simon Spire’s description of his music and his journey to the United States. Spire described his music as “self-inquiring indie pop” and not “self-inquiring in the park.” Spire also believes people experience an “underlying sense of anger and alienation,” not “dandelion seeds of anger and alienation.” Additionally, Spire did not live in Tennessee at any point in his life.
