Revolutionaries of modern rock, we had the chance to meet Kim Logan & the Silhouettes to talk about their career, from Paris to the UK.
Kim Logan & the Silhouettes make alternative music about alchemy and politics, primed for our current time of societal collapse. Their sounds are fused from origins in the American South and the industrial cities of the UK, bringing a new blend of rock music for life on the brink of a collective new age.
« I’ve had some seriously cool successes through Groover […]. It’s such a great intermediary between artists and people who can actually platform us in big ways. » – Kim Logan
Can you tell us a bit about your background and your music project? How did you start and what made you take it seriously?
Kim Logan & the Silhouettes was based in Paris from 2018-2023, when I started creating my upcoming album with producer Rex Roulette (Eagles of Death Metal, Bob Vylan, Rival Sons, KALEO), and moved my work and band to the UK.
How would you describe your music? In your opinion, what’s the best way for someone to experience it?
The Silhouettes got their start in Paris, and have now morphed into a group that comprises UK and European musicians. After extensive touring from 2021-2023, their 3rd LP, the follow up to 2020’s critically-acclaimed “Shadow Work,” is releasing as singles throughout 2025. Evolving from influences based in the 60s and 70s history of blues and psychedelic rock, Kim Logan & the Silhouettes partnered with producer/guitarist Rex Roulette (Bob Vylan, Eagles of Death Metal, KALEO, Dead Sara), and bassist Dominic Davis (Jack White, Pharrell) to bring shades of trip-hop, industrial sounds, and fresh alt-pop songwriting to the often antique and recycled medium of modern rock music.
How did you find out about Groover and what made you decide to use the platform?
I actually met Dorian originally at a festival event in Paris (before Covid) and have been with Groover for a long time, but started to really use all of its features in the last year or so since I’ve been releasing new music.
How has it helped you? What opportunities have you gotten through Groover?
I’ve had some seriously cool successes through Groover: SPIN Magazine, Rolling Stone Español, Billboard Brasil, DJ Laura Beth (BBC & other UK radio), Common Sense (430k on Youtube), Electric Funeral Records, El Mostroso 6250k on TikTok), Igor Miranda (journalist, Brasil), Witchy Vibes (91k saves on Spotify), GTA Vice City playlist (50k saves on Spotify), Milo Vinyl (50k on IG), Live Me If You Can (French live sessions) and so many more. It’s such a great intermediary between artists and people who can actually platform us in big ways.
What are your upcoming projects and any other cool news you’d like to share with us?
The rest of my upcoming album Saturnalia starts its release on April 18, with the title track. A bunch of singles will follow, and they’ll all synthesize together around the same themes of esotericism, politics, and the weird vibes that continue to grow on planet Earth. Rex and I have been moving away from some of my former psych-blues-rock sounds and into new territory for the band as a whole… This album has trip-hop and industrial sounds, grunge, post-punk, and tons of other elements that are more from the 90s and 00s influences I picked up in the last few years. Everything from Mark Lanegan to Depeche Mode, from Nine Inch Nails to Doja Cat, were all really present in my mind while trying to make something fresh.
What advice would you give to artists just starting out with their music projects? What’s the most important thing you’ve learned since you started?
Advice I’d give to others starting any kind of musical project would be that “anything goes” right now, so really just do exactly what you’re passionate about doing, and do a LOT of it, trying to make sure you really love every bit of what you put out into the world. This industry is not in good shape, and it’s probably only going to be saved by people who are in this for truly honest artistic reasons. Writing a great song is much more important than the algorithm, in terms of what you want to leave as your creative legacy, I promise.
