Here at Earmilk, we’re pretty big fans of Simian Mobile Disco, and coming from this particular editor, I am here to tell you this track will not disappoint. Some people think their newest album “Temporary Pleasure” doesn’t quite live up to the disco fueled debut “Attack Decay Sustain Release”.  They did pull a ton of bigger names for their newest album, even though they still won’t be people you have heard of. Meanwhile, Bristol DJ Joker has remix of one of the serious bangers on their new album, probably my favorite track on the whole thing. Joker has been releasing all sorts of tracks lately, and all of them have been straight hype. Keep an eye out for that dude.

Besides the Joker remix, I’m going to put up the Joakim remix of “Hustler” that I’m real into also. I’m sure you will be too. Enjoy.

Simian Mobile Disco, what can be said that hasn’t already been said, especially in the 2007 post ‘Simian, not Mobile, nor Disco, nor Vs. Justice‘ featured on missingtoof which walks you through the rise of Simian to its fall and the phoenix that rose from its ashes and added an MD to its name.

With the 2009 release of ‘Temporary Pleasure’, Simian Mobile Disco continues their streak of combing traditional song writing styles with electronic instruments and a dance edge.

The tracks range from what you’d expect from SMD – for example ‘Bad Blood’ which combines smooth vocals over a smoother drumline, to tracks paying homage to the almighty clergy of sweet dance – ‘1000 Horses Can’t Be Wrong’ – a play on the popular Soulwax mixed album ‘50,000,000 Soulwax Fans Can’t Be Wrong’.

Upon the first listen all the way through, a few tracks jump out, not the least of which is the rap horror choir jam ‘Turn Up the Dial’ ft. Young Fathers. But, so far, my favourite is ‘Pinball’ (ft. Telepathe), which comes in like a cold sweat builds into a eerie groove. With that being said, I’m sure fans of ‘Tits & Acid’ from Attack Decay Sustain Release (2007 release aka ‘ADSR’) will enjoy the dark house vibe of ‘Off The Map’.

Simian Mobile Disco is a group of producers that hail from England. They would be considered electronica or maybe synth-pop. They have a great style and a great sound. They seem to like to play off their hook too like Daft Punk would (ex: Around the World). Their 2nd album is due later this year and they have recently released the video “Audacity of Huge”. The title of the song is obviously in reference to Barack Obama’s book “Audacity of Hope”. This video is amazing and has some very amazing visual effects. Check it out below:
