Who: French vocalist, percussionist and lyricist
Samantha Stephson and guitarist-composer Scott Helland.

FFO: Siouxsie and the Banshees, Concrete Blonde, Blondie,

Pick: TEMPLE OF SLEEP

Single from the duo’s imposing new album Zen Ghost (stream/buy below)
Pitting emotional angst against sleep, the song squirms with the uneasy yet
seductive pull of altered states of rest.

TUTV: Temple of Sleep grooves and moves with chilling, electrical swagger,
and steadfast drum beats, while Samantha’s Stephson‘s theatrical voice has
an instantly irresistible and attractive impact and holds your aural attention
throughout. Think Siouxsie, PJ and Lovich.

Yes, wholly magnetic. One spin and you’re wide awake and hooked. I know, I am.
