James Ford and Jas Shaw , aka Simian Mobile Disco, have always had an envious ability to transform their sound while staying firmly at the forefront of contemporary music. Their earliest explorations were in an inimitable strain of indie dance that resulted in the now infamous ‘Attack Decay Sustain Release’. With their ever-evolving sound, they went onto release ‘Temporary Pleasure’ featuring a plethora of vocals from the likes of Alexis Taylor, Beth Ditto and Jamie Liddell . Most recently, they have released techno 12” compilation [...]

Ahh New Years Eve, you fickle creature, how we often loathe you. The fuss, the organisation and anticipation of your coming often ends in mediocracy or crushing disappointment. It's not your fault though, we generally expect too much of you. You don't own the rights to being the best night of the year, any random "quiet" night at the pub could well take that crown so this year we'll endeavour to treat you like any other night out. This isn't completely possible though because you undeniably bring line-ups and parties like no other, so with that in mind, we decided to round-up [...]
XPN Welcomes emerging indie three-piece Guards to Kung Fu Necktie tonight. The New York project is spearheaded by Richie James Follin, frontman for Willowz and a former live guitarist for Cults (which his sister Madeline sings for). The group’s doom-meets-power pop vibe makes their seven-track EP an unexpected dance party staple, which you can pick ... Continue reading
As November rains its way into December, the Bay Area does its part in the War on Christmas with the onset of our annual secular holiday concert season. Relive that scene in My So-Called Life where Rayanne went flyering drunk in the school parking lot when Toad the Wet Sprocket play not one but two [...]

It's the weekend! Time to zone out to some electronic music! How about new Simian Mobile Disco? Just when I thought I was going to get bored, I didn't. Of the video, I mean. As for SMD's new stuff? Well its certainly no "Audacity of Huge."
Simian Mobile Disco's video for "Cerulean" is a six minute feast for your eyeballs when they didn't even know they were hungry. I've left my acid and 3-D glasses in my other coat, so I'm probably not getting the full effect, but it's pretty damn beautiful to watch those shapes and colors move. And on [...]
Yes, Simian Mobile Disco is back a brand new album Unpatterns and here's the first track teaser called Cerulean. It's a bleepy techno number with bangin' 4-4 beats. They're are the best and their name is awesome.

Album release date: May 14th 2012. Pre Order || Video designed, directed and animated by Jack Featherstone and Will Samuel, for ISO studio . Totally hypnotic video and song taken from the forthcoming brand new SMD album Unpatterns . Look out for the first single Seraphim out April 9. “It’s a record full of love, dedication, hard-earned experience, obvious understanding of decades of electronic music [...]
Cerulean is taken from Simian Mobile Disco 's forthcoming album, Unpatterns .
Another new one from Simian Mobile Disco’s upcoming Unpatterns that’ll actually end up on the record – “Cerulean” joins the ranks of its predecessor “Seraphim” among SMD’s oeuvre of creepy-sexy clubby jams. We’re loving those shimmery, undulating background drones that give way to a brilliantly impossible-to-follow synth solo, one that seems to have a personality of its own. The track comes with a video that’s halfway between Piet Mondrian and old-school Nintendo games – if that sounds awesome, it’s because it is. The rest of Unpatterns drops May 14th. [...]
Simian Mobile Disco have released the official video for their track "Cerulean," and, taking inspiration from classic 8-bit video games such as Pong , Asteroids , Alleyway and Space Invaders , it is simply captivating. With Jack Featherstone and Will Samuel of ISO Studio at the helm, the video brilliantly matches up reimaginings of these video game classic with the UK duo's electro thumper. Check it out above (via SPIN.com ). Simian Mobile Disco's fourth studio album Unpatterns is set for release on May 15th via Wichita Recordings.
Early '80s video games, both the arcade and home variety, came in a wide array of genres. The most popular were the character driven side scrollers, but there were also some that were a bit more abstract, dealing with objectives involving geometric shapes. Simian Mobile Disco 's video for new track, "Cerulean," features a series of rotating one dimensional objects playing synth notes upon contact, like an arcade game that falls somewhere between Breakout and a surrealist version of Sonic the Hedgehog . The song is pretty cool too. Using tiny, soft beats as [...]

« Cerulean » , c'est le nom du nouveau morceau proposé par Simian Mobile Disco . Toujours dans cet esprit très graphique, ce clip réalisé par Jack Featherstone et Will Samuel reste dans l'état d'esprit actuel du duo qui sort bientôt son nouvel alvum « Unpatterns » . La vidéo très minimaliste est assez envoutante, assez pour ne pas quitter la page avant la fin, le morceau est d'ailleurs sacrément sympathique.

As we head towards the release of Simian Mobile Disco's new album 'Unpatterns' yet another tease has dropped in the form of the symbiotic and hypnotising video for "Cerulean" (following the bleary/housey single "Seraphim" ) The track itself features heavily on bleeps and blops bearing over a rhythmic pulse which is visualised in the atari-esque paths and rolling mission of varying shapes, waves and lines. A clever video for a clever song! 'Unpatterns' is due [...]

We've loved first singles "Seraphim" and "Fourteenth Principles", now third Unpatterns release "Cerulean" emerges. Accompanied by an awesome Jack Featherstone & Will Samuel directed 80's video game inspired clip, the hypnotic "Cerulean" sounds like what the soundtrack for games like Pong and Asteroids would've sounded like had they come out today. You are getting sleeeeeeepy..... veeeeerrrryyyy sleeeeepppy. Simian Mobile Disco ( Facebook ) Rating 8.4
