Naked Ape

Naked Ape is a Swedish indie/electronica band from Stockholm that formed in 1997. Starting out as a duo, they gained notoriety after opening for the biggest Swedish indie band at the time, Bob Hund. Their first release, entitled Television, got rave reviews from Swedish press, around the time that third member Olof Bendt joined the crew.

Their second full album, For The Sake Of The Naked Ape, launched them into international stardom, propelled by the widespread popularity of their unconventional music videos for songs "Fashion Freak" (watch here[1]) and "Undo/Redo," which feature morbidly attractive undead females sensually entertaining their living counterparts. Their work has been described as "chock full of '80s analog synth sounds, Kraftwerkian sparseness, knock-knocking beats, lovely minimal melodies, and man-machine vocoder-buzz. Fashionably slick, sharp and irresistible on the dancefloor."[1]
