Like God The Devil moves in mysterious ways. Back in May (The Bird & The Monkey) I featured the collaboration between SharkBatter stablemates Sarahjane Swan and Roger Simian (ex Dawn of the Replicants) and suggested they may want to consider naming their joint venture The Bird & The Monkey. Well Roger and Sarahjane liked the thought of being branded by the Devil so much that they've taken up the suggestion and they now revel in the name The Bird & The Monkey. Under their new Devil appointed name the dynamic duo have their first single the poptastic 'If Loves A Cure' out on 26th July and an EP, The Ossie Dean EP, of left field snap crackle and pop in the can for release sometime later this year.If Loves A Cure is like the result of throwing everything ever released on 4AD records into a mincer. It's the sound of lovers breaking up, lovers making up, lovers hurting, lovers kissing. The Ossie Dean EP to be released later this year includes Daisy James On The Pincushion, a track regular followers of the Devil will already be familiar with and a great new track Chalkmark Cindy, which sounds like Enya with asthma being chased by a police car. It's breathy and sensual like someone released the backing vocals of Je T'aime into the community.
