No, I'm not talking the bloke from Silver Apples. Everyone likes him, surely? I mean the group Simian. I really liked their first album ('Chemistry Is What We Are', Source, 2001) which was a lovely example of ecentric english psychpop with a contemporary edge. But something about the follow-up "We Are Your Friends" bothered me. Forgot all about them until the opening track from "WAYF" ( 'La Breeze') started getting heavy rotation on the telly on a Peugot advert recently (the one that goes 'here it comes...here it comes' with a little descending riff that sounds 'borrowed' from The Beatles "Wild Honey Pie", the cuntz). It's really starting to irritate me now. I think I should listen to the album again and see why it bothered me, but I just can't face it. Anyone got any opinions on these guys?
Are they even still going? I checked the (extremely irritating)website which hasn't been updated for over a year.
