Simian Ghost, just recently released their previous single “Stop Moving.” Today, they are back with the hook filled “When You’re Ready,” produced by Thomas Hedlund of Phoenix, now out on Heist or Hit.

Simian Ghost started out as a recording project by Swedish songwriter Sebastian Arnström and after two well received solo releases became a fully-fledged band a few years back.

The band have since released an ambitious 18 track record in The Veil, and remained close, a family even – Sebastian and bandmate Erik Klinga being exactly that, brothers – patiently honing themselves away to work on their sound, and recently adding a fourth member in bassist Wilhem Magnusson. In 2017 they arrive having done what any band in their right mind might do to combat the uncertainty of our modern world, they’ve retained both hope, optimism and their all-encompassing knack for melody – and they’ve written a pop record.

“When You’re Ready” is the 3rd track to be released from their upcoming self-titled LP, and Sebastian says this of it:

“A couple of years ago we got this idea that we should write a song for Zara Larsson. She wasn’t super famous back then, and we were really digging her latest single. So me and Mathias sat down with a couple of guitars and wrote When You’re Ready.

Then we realised that Zara Larsson wouldn’t want a song from us – so we just did it ourselves instead. It turned out pretty good.”

Having made all their previous recordings at home with minimal equipment and resources, this album will be the first to contain some studio-recorded material. ”We’re just a bunch of guys doing stuff at home really”, the band states, ”so in many ways this feels like our debut album all over again. And this time we’re ready.”
