Here's a couple of songs from Simian Ghost's EP "Autumn Slowmo", which was released just in the end of last year. A great EP, which finishes with the wonderful "Dizzy Spells", a new favourite of mine. Simian Ghost's site - on Facebook - on Spotify - on Wimp - on Soundcloud

Le groupe suédois Simian Ghost avaient publié un album en début d'année absolument somptueux - pas de manière faste; c'est sans effets de style et avec douceur que Youth s'était imposé dans nos Itunes. La découvert de « Wolf Girl » et de sa vidéo pleine de bons sentiments, avait émerveillé de nombreux auditeurs. Grâce à une indie-pop délicate et ultra-efficace (qui doit beaucoup à la voix de Sebastian Arnström qui est aussi le cerveau du groupe), le trio était parvenu à s'imposer comme une [...]

Bien, ustedes pueden ser sinceros conmigo, realmente les gustó la nueva canción de David Bowie ? Digo, no me vayan a malinterpretar, el hecho de que después de casi 10 años de no soltar nada de nuevo material, y que de la nada haya decidido tomar su sitio oficial para anunciar el lanzamiento de un nuevo álbum y aún mas en pleno festejo de su cumpleaños, es todo un acontecimiento musical. Sin embargo en lo personal, aún tengo mis dudas sobre " Where Are We Now? ". No es una mala canción, e incluso porta con un [...]

Tempo fa il magazine MOJO chiese agli svedesi Simian Ghost di 'coverizzare' "Be My Wife". La canzone, inizialmente, sarebbe dovuta finire in una compilation tributo al 'duca bianco'. Sfortunatamente il progetto di quel disco fu accantonato. La band mette comunque a disposizione, streaming e free download, la sua personale reinterpretazione del brano di Bowie . MP3: Simian Ghost - Be My Wife (David Bowie Cover) pubblicato su Indie For BUNNIES

A while back, MOJO asked Swedish alt-poppers Simian Ghost to record a cover of David Bowie 's 'Be My Wife' for one of their cover-mount tribute albums they do. Sadly, that record never surfaced. But what better timing to stream the one track that did come of it than in the aftermath of Bowie's first Top 10 single in 20 years ? There is no better time than now. So listen/download below:
