Simian Ghost


            

Simian Ghost is an alternative pop act from Sandviken/Gävle, Sweden. It was initiated as a recording project by musician and visual artist Sebastian Arnström. His debut album, Infinite Traffic Everywhere, was received with blog praise and excellent reviews, topping the Critics Chart in Sweden and being voted Record Of The Year by the readers of Dagensskiva.se.

Simian Ghost originally performed live as a trio, consisting of Sebastian on vocals and electronics, his brother Erik Klinga on drums and Mathias Zachrisson on guitar, (both members of Light Vibes). More recently, they have added two new live members Maja Agnevik on additional vocals and Wilhelm Magnusson on bass. They have already shared stages with the likes of Mount Kimbie, SBTRKT, Niki & The Dove and Tony Buck. Their 2012 album Youth, will be reissued with five additional tracks September 2014.

"Simian Ghost is by far one of Sweden's most interesting pop acts to come out this year. We're currently covering our bodies in coconut butter and hoping that they'll shine some more sunlight into our dark lives…" ‐ - NOISEY/VICE
