Simian Mobile Disco

Simian Mobile Disco have an album coming out soon, which I'm sure will be excellent. A lot of you will most probably have heard of Simian Mobile Disco, for two reason ie.
1. Yes they're more-or-less the Simian half of the people involved in last year's big dance-pop hit 'We Are Your Friends' (Justice vs Simian), and
2. SMD are, of late, very prolific remixers themselves (not least The Presets and Peaches, who have both been featured here) - In fact, they'va also remixed some of their own songs! Oh what a wheeze!

They also produce a number of excellent songs under the guise of Simian Mobile Disco, which they like to keep as a separate identity from just Simian, which was more of a rock band with electronic bits-and-pieces, compared to the Dance Act of SMD. The best production I've managed to hear from them is entitled I Believe, which is quite the mid-tempo electronic crooning orgy with multilayered harmonizing vocals. In short, this isn't 'House Music'. Most of their other tracks do lean towards House Music, including Hustler, It's The Beat and Tits & Acid. Don't worry, those songs still sound good though!

And sorry it's taken me a while to update.
