The All’s Eye – “The Simian”
The All’s Eye delivers a fusion of funk, rock, and jazz-infused psychedelia on their latest single, The Simian. This dynamic track is a showcase of the trio’s effortless musicianship, blending boogaloo funk organ grooves with fluid guitar work and deep, immersive percussion. Recorded at the renowned Carriage House Studios and polished at Music Factory Studios, the single highlights the band’s ability to merge classic inspirations with modern flair, creating something both nostalgic and refreshingly original.
At its core, The Simian is a rhythmic powerhouse, led by Kris Yunker’s masterful organ playing, Ben Atkind’s driving drum grooves, and Ari Joshua’s expressive guitar work and vocals. The addition of guest percussionist Jason Hann (The String Cheese Incident) elevates the song’s energy, injecting vibrant congas, bongos, and shakers that add texture and movement. The result? A track that effortlessly shifts between free-flowing jam sections and tightly constructed arrangements, carrying echoes of The Allman Brothers’ soulfulness while maintaining a forward-thinking approach.
The song’s rich instrumentation is complemented by its uplifting, free-spirited vibe. The layered keys, punchy basslines, and swirling guitar riffs create an immersive listening experience, perfect for fans of groove-driven, exploratory music. Meanwhile, the stunning psychedelic artwork by Roberlan Borges Paresqui visually encapsulates the energy and transcendence of The Simian
With this release, The All’s Eye reinforces their status as a powerhouse trio redefining jam-influenced rock. Fans can also catch them live on their upcoming Northeast tour, where the band will bring The Simian and their expansive soundscapes to the stage. Expect a sonic journey filled with electrifying solos, deep grooves, and an undeniable sense of adventure.
