Right off the bat, everything about “The Simian” seems fresh and high quality, like every instrument and every detail is meant to be there. We’ve got Kris Yunker, Ben Atkind, Ari Joshua, and Jason Hann from The String Cheese Incident to thank for that.
Not only is it a feel-good-esque song, but it’s also quite literally what it means to be a song with a mix of groove, funk, and synth/organ-powered greatness. It’s everything you could want to blast on your car radio, or hear live given how they have seemingly enough time for improv solos in the near end of the track.
The vocals are smooth, almost gliding, as well as the backing that comes with it from time to time. It also comprises a piano solo, which has the capability of getting you lost in the feeling and the carefree-ness of the entire aura.
Overall, it’s a great song to get hooked on – no, it’s the right song to get hooked on. It’s clear that everyone involved with making this poured all the love and passion for it, and it’s evident in every second. The layers come together expertly, a telltale sign that the people behind The All’s Eye know what they’re doing.
