Check out this new track from Greek duo Keep Shelly in Athens, courtesy of Gorilla vs. Bear. The first single I heard from this group was last year's "Fokionos Negri Street," a straight instrumental jam that's heavy on the keyboard grooves. The new single "Hauntin' Me," due out next month, is very different but similarly entrancing. The vocals are striking enough to compete with the powerful, multilayered musical backing; the track has a minor identity crisis, but that tension fosters a sense of unpredictability in the song that really makes it worth a listen. Around the 2:30 mark I hear echoes of Ray Manzarek, and that psychedelic influence takes this track to the next level.
