Simian Mobile Disco who consist of James Ford and Jas Shaw have transformed themselves from an ok indie band into a master electronic production team. The progressive nature of Simian Mobile Disco's originals along with the repetition and intrumental arrangement is what defines the duo within the international scene. After the success of the first album (Attack Decay Sustain Release) through such singles as Hustler and It's The Beat - SMD's new album has been put on hold to accompany the production skills of James Ford who as mentioned in a previous post was the master mind behind albums from The Arctic Monkeys, Klaxons, Muse, Peaches and french electronic pioneers Air.I must say right now that it was worth the wait, i am not placing any predictions or insight as to how everybody else will receive the new album but i myself am absolutely loving it. The albums augmenting beats are paired with stunning guest vocals, the vocal cameos shine light through Temporary Pleasure which is down as one of my albums of 09. From The Gossip's Beth Ditto to Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor the different styles of vocals and songs epitomize the range and capabilities of Simian Mobile Disco. All in all a wicked album which is due for release in a couple of days - worth a trip to the record store but until then enjoy these three tracks including SMD's single off the album Audacity of Huge
Have a killer weekend - peace out.
