Simian Ghost – Wolf Girl

By Chris Gedos

Is there anything the Swedes can’t do right? Sexy crime fiction, metaphysical art-house flicks, even paid paternity leave from work when the momma has a child! Simian Ghost’s first single off the forthcoming Youth LP, entitled “Wolf Girl”, is an absolute delight and sure to perpetuate Sweden’s post capitalistic superiority. The crisp production values (#lovethefadein) set the stakes, but the arrangement is solid with lyrics considerably more fluent than those coming from some native Anglophone acts. The music video runs with the trippy, baroque-twee vibe and even throws a pillow fight into the mix. The Sebastian Arnström (of Aerials) project is sure to have many in Sweden thinking spring.
