sure this is old news, but i just finally got some new tracks. the similou are some other swedes that i absolutely adore. unbelievable synth work from their first album "so hot right now" - an album that i've been listening to over and over again since its US release. and it is SOOO hot. their myspace hasn't been updated for way too long and there isn't any news of future releases - but i was just informed (thanks to DDVNOW!) that the similou is actually a side project of plej's erik niklasson. plej is often like really effin' hip lounge music. they use organs, muted horns, smooth beats, and are some times reminiscent of some smoother etienne de crecy tracks. not just lounger & chill-out, they seem super versatile. "freaks" sounds like indie - mallets and everything! in other tracks, you can hear that similou hotness like this rick james cover (give it to me baby).
The Similou - Weather Girl (via formerly Ohh! Crapp, now nightmagnets)
Plej - Freaks (via Obscure Sound)
buy the similou's so hot right now (HIGH REC!!!)
buy plej's home is where your heart was (HIGH REC!!!)
