The official music video for Simulover’s new single “Tourniquet” (Directed by Andreas Anastasis) is out now and creating quite a stir in the electropop scene…

NYC based electropop duo Simulover have been busy boys since the release of their self-titeld debut album stateside.  On September 13th, Simulover announced the official release of their debut music video and 2-Part Remix EP for “Tourniquet”. As the second single from the self-titled album, ‘Tourniquet’ was originally written as a dynamic, sexually charged, edgy response to the sugar sweet, angelic vibe of ‘Unbroken’.

The video, directed by Andreas Anastasis, tells the story of how we wear sexuality as an accessory. “I’ve always felt that repression tends to be the catalyst for most people’s fetishes” says SIRPAUL. “I think we all have aspects of both exhibitionist and voyeuristic characteristics inside of us. I’m not into shame or the negative social stigma that’s attached to sexual expression… I’m just fascinated by what gets people off.”

The 2-Part Tourniquet EP is available now on iTunes worldwide.  Tourniquet EP, Pt. 1 features exclusive remixes from superstar producers Jerome Farley & Del Pino Bros, Simulover’s own SIRPAUL, 7b. The Tourniquet EP, Pt. 2 explores both Tourniquet and Unbroken further with interpretations offered up by some of Simulover’s favorite remix collaborators: Keven Maroda, 7b & Candy Apple Blue.

More of an editorial spread from a high fashion magazine than a literal translation of their songs, these boys aim to please the eye and seduce the senses with their videos. Tourniquet is a carefully crafted song that unravels to reveal an integral part the band’s DNA… sex appeal.

Alex Lauterstein says: “What I love about ‘Tourniquet’ is that we get to talk about what most people consider “taboo” but we’re doing it in an artistic, conceptualized way. Andreas captured the essence of the song with this video, giving us a sanitized environment for such a dirty task!”

The Favorite (digital version): Released 29-March-2011 Simulover | Simulover Album Review

“Who Said Good Electronic Pop Music is Dead?”

Album/Artist: Simulover – Simulover

Label: Controversial Records

Simulover is more than the union of singer/producer SIRPAUL™ and DJ/Producer Alex Lauterstein, it is a creative communion just given birth to that surely, is one of the Ten Best Albums of the Year. It is difficult to make a parallel with any existing band to describe in words what the ‘Simulover’ sound is. It is a peculiar sound- so personal but, in turn, a sound that we’ve wanted to keep listening to after the eighties. Simulover sounds like Pet Shop Boys meets Soft Cell all in a glamorous 2011 format. In modern terms, it’s like a club version of Gnarls Barkley with lot of creativity and histrionics.

The Simulover trip starts with the intro track Arrival and leads into the super-experimental Tourniquet. Then the first single: Unbroken, a synth pop song reminiscent of London in the first half of the eighties which immediately drops you off at the almost mantra Cheap Thrill. The restless night continues with Nights Like This and the song Ghost Box remind us of our excesses. The soothing quality of Lauterstein’s voice opens Heal and then SIRPAUL delivers us his broken heart in the best interpretation of the album: Someone Else. As if it were a two-sided vinyl, here you can make a cut and see how a B-side starts with a different look.

Lightyears is one of my favorites of the album and SIRPAUL makes you contemplate a day in Simulover’s life. The brightness of Into Deeper grows with each listen, while the cover of Love and Rocket’s So Alive dusts off the spiderwebs and adds the color of this century: Impeccable, as if it were released yesterday.

Laserlove shows how a guest can illuminate without deviating outside the aesthetic of the band. Cherylyn’s voice (also provided backing vocals So Alive) moves fluidly as another member of the band. Impeccable.

The highlight of the night comes on the heels of another guest, Devlinelle. Beautiful sound exactly like a cell phone alert: happy on the outside but with a message that forces you to think. The outro set Paris Rouge continues into Paris Noir … leaving us longing for more from this exciting New York City duo.

Overall Rating: 9 1/2 Points out of 10. Excellent debut album. It’s been a long time since a pop band has offered this much.

Highlights: Cheap Thrill, Light years, Beautiful, Someone Else, Heal, Unbroken (in that order)

Artwork: 8 1/2 Points out of 10: pays homage futuristic style.

Lost Points: Currently no physical edition.
