simian ghost // autumn slowmo (for the dejected realist) ep

If you could distill all of varying degrees of heartache and the ambiguity of doubt mixed with desire it may sound something like this.

Simian Ghost has earned a storied place in hearts and minds everywhere with their brand of heartfelt odes. SG’s songs leaves tear stains upon pillows and pepper hope within clasped hands poised in prayer. And if you desire deliverance from the ills of existence or a potent balm of distraction from mundane worries, then the band’s latest, ‘Autumn Slowmo For The Dejected Realist’ fits the bill and then some. After listening to the new 3-song EP there is little wonder why this band has gained such a faithful and adoring following.

Simian Ghost // Wolf Girl (Video)

I am going to approach this review of Swedish dream-Pop auteurs Simian Ghost as if you’re just hearing about them for the very first time (and that may very well be the case). Whether or not you know who Sebastian Arnström is or isn’t is irrelevant, to a point. I suppose if you only want to impress friends and acquaintances with vocabulary enough to name drop and feign hipness, then I suppose you are now sufficiently well-armed to do such a thing. But, such information is far removed, and serves little (if any) purpose in how the music will ultimately enter through the conduit of your ears and sough softly through your brain cells like a pastel colored watercourse winding its way into the deeper waters of tranquility. I bid you only this, cast ulterior motives  aside and just enjoy a thing for the sake of enjoyment. The songs created by Sebastian Arnström come armed only with an ego-less beauty and a mischievous need, not for vanity, but to bruise the soft tissue of your heart with the imprint of sweet and plaintive adoration. The forthcoming album, titled Youth, will be released on March 5th via  Heist Or Hit Records. Peace. Continue reading “Simian Ghost // Wolf Girl (Video)”

Simian Ghost – Bicycle Theme

Simian Ghost

Let’s get things moving right along, but at a decidedly subdued pace. One thing I want to say, Simian Ghost is just what the music doctor ordered. Like a gossamer sugar-coated screen filtering out the harsh light of an unrestrained sun. That said, the latest offering from Simian Ghost is total bliss. The song “Free Agent” taken from Simian Ghost’s sophomore release, the Lovelorn EP (released through Heist Or Hit Records).  Sebastian Arnström thank you so much for penning such lush and beautiful music. The Radiant Arp Mix is killing it. Another thing, my hat off to all the DIY indie music makers out and about in the world. You guys and gals are keeping it fresh to death. Peace.
