London electronic duo Simian Mobile Disco have unveiled their brand new live edit of ‘Wooden’, which has been taken from their up and album ‘Live’, out April 15th.
Simian Mobile Disco - aka James Ford and Jas Shaw - 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 ‘Delicacies’, and last year’s critically acclaimed ‘Unpatterns’, described by XLR8R as SMD's “magnum opus” - made it to #2 on XLR8R's end of year album chart.
This diverse musical excursion has led us to ‘Live’, an album recorded whilst on tour last year, during a performance in Philadelphia in one take, with no edits. With a background of feverish techno rhythms and bounce as well as some vintage analogue electronics, ‘Live’ perfectly displays the brilliance of SMD, and is being released on their own Delicacies label,. Fittingly, this is their first record distributed through the seminal German electronic label Kompakt.
