Simian Ghost, who received international acclaim for their second album, Youth, are back with a new single, Echoes of Songs.
And you can listen to it exclusively on Telegraph.co.uk.
Echoes of Songs, taken from the album, The Veil, is a tribute to singer Trish Keenan of the electro-pop group Broadcast.
Explaining why they dedicated the song to Keenan, the band said: “Broadcast was a band that we have all loved and followed for years. Ever since we got the news about Trish passing we wanted to make some kind of tribute to her.
"During the sessions for The Veil this old song idea came up and we thought it kind of reminded us of Broadcast and I wrote a lyric that is both a humble homage to their music and to her style of writing.”

02 Sep 2013The three-piece from Sweden released their debut album, Infinite Traffic Everywhere, in 2010.
In 2011 the band toured Sweden and shared stages with the likes of Mount Kimbie, SBTRKT and Niki and the Dove, as well as releasing their Lovelorn EP.
Whereas Lovelorn, a wonderfully understated but primarily electronic record, was in Sebastian’s words "a collection of songs all conceived in my messy living room, very DIY”, the follow-up Youth was very much more of a full band affair.
Reflecting their live presence, the guitars came back and the result is a stylish coming together of all the debut’s promise with added sophistication and maturity.
Simian Ghost will be performing at London’s Old Blue Last on February 10
