Simian Mobile Disco (Artist)



}} Simian Mobile Disco are an English production and remix team. Formed from the ashes of Simian in 2005 its members are James Ford and Jas Shaw and Simon Everett. In addition to his work with Simian Mobile Disco, James Ford is a producer and has worked bands such as the Florence & the Machine, Arctic Monkeys, Peaches and Klaxons. ContentsEarly history Musical style History Releases Studio releases Mix compilations EPs Singles Remixes References In popular culture External links Early historySimian Mobile Disco was originally formed as a traveling DJ duet, playing on the side of their early four-piece band Simian[1]. They ultimately released a number of low profile singles, such as "The Count" on Kitsuné Music, but arguably gained more fame for their remixes of artists such as Muse, Klaxons, The Go! Team, Air and others. In 2006, Kitsuné released SMD's underground hit "Hustler", which features a vocal performance from New York singer Char Johnson. Musical styleMusically, Simian Mobile Disco are known for heavily stylized tracks —often with minimal instrumentation— that associate themselves with a particular hook (vocal or instrumental —see mix of "Whoo! Alright, Yeah...Uh Huh" by The Rapture), which is repeated throughout the track. There is often a breakdown (occasionally more —see mix of "Magick" by Klaxons) comprising noise, drums and sometimes synths and vocals. HistoryThe band's debut album, Attack Decay Sustain Release was released on 18 June 2007 on Wichita Recordings. Among the tracks included on it are "Hustler", "Tits and Acid", "I Believe", "Hot Dog" and lead single "It's the Beat", which features Ninja from UK indie band The Go! Team on vocals. The album contains five new tracks, and the European version includes a bonus disc. The album was preceded by two mix compilations in April and May, for the "Bugged Out" and "Go Commando" series respectively. SMD supported Klaxons at Brixton Academy on the 5 December 2007 and The Chemical Brothers at Aintree Pavilion on 9 December 2007 and Brighton Centre on 12 December 2007. SMD made a mix for Mixmag that came free with the January 2008 issue of Mixmag. While working on their second studio album, they released a collection of remixed SMD originals entitled Sample and Hold, which contains eleven tracks and was released in the UK on July 28, 2008. A North American date has not yet been announced. In January 2009, they announced on their Myspace page that a new album was supposed to come out in 2009. Soon after that, they released a new track "Synthesise", on 12 February, through a music video (directed by Kate Moross and Alex Sushon) that "features live visual accompaniment" for the track[2]. Two days later, a new song was broadcast on the BBC Radio 1 named "10,000 Horses Can't Be Wrong", soon followed by the release on 6 March of the official music video on their YouTube channel. Their sophomore studio album Temporary Pleasure was finally announced on the 6 May, featuring many guests that they have encountered by their work as producers or their worldly tour including Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals, Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip, Beth Ditto of Gossip, and Chris Keating of Yeasayer.[3][4] On New Years Eve 2009 Simian Mobile Disco will headline 'Get Loaded in the Dark' at the world famous Brixton Academy alongside Annie Mac (BBC Radio 1), Chase & Status, Herve and Sub Focus. During the introduction of their Essential Mix made for Radio 1, broadcasted on the 9 January 2010, they gave hints on what would be a techno-oriented album expected for later in 2010.[5] Since then, the duo has also established what will be a quarterly residency to JDH and Dave P’s Fixed nights, on the US grounds.[6] Releases Studio releases Attack Decay Sustain Release (debut album) (June 2007, Wichita Recordings) - UK #59[1] Live In Japan (live album) (May 2008, Hostess, Japan only) Sample and Hold (remix album) (July 2008, Wichita Recordings) Temporary Pleasure (second studio album) (August 17, 2009)[1] - UK #39[2], AUS #42[3] Mix compilations Mobile Disco 2003 (Disc 2 of The Cornerstone Player Volume 039) (2003) Bugged Out!
