FINALLY- Details on the Next Simian Mobile Disco Album & Live Videos from Highline Ballroom Gig
3 weeks ago we begged SMD to stop playing with our hearts. Thankfully they listened and here’s what you’re gonna get come August 17th- a full length entitled Temporary Pleasure our on Wichita. As usual it’s a collaborator’s wet dream. The first single ‘Audacity Of Huge’ features vocals from Chris Keating from Yeasayer. No Ninja from the Go Team- this time they added even more Brooklyn to the mix- the aforementioned Yeasayer PLUS Telepathe! Yay! Check it out though from the UK end- Gruff Rhys, ALEXIS TAYLOR and Jamie Lidell. Plus we’ve got our eyes on Young Fathers and you should too.
The album was recorded at the band’s studio in East London throughout 2008 and 2009, when the band weren’t busy touring their live show, DJing and producing. As well as representing the best of UK dance music the record contains some staggering pop anthems, featuring vocal contributions from the likes of The Gossip’s Beth Ditto and Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor. The album will be available on LP, CD and deluxe limited edition CD.
