I remember when Simian were just Simian before they got a mobile disco and became all trendy and that. I preferred them as they were if I'm honest. This new fangled disco version of 'em just doesn't wash. The keyboards sound just like Vince Clark (Yazoo/ Erasure) and you're all rushing to buy records by them aren't you? They're clearly a talented bunch of folks mind you. I just don't like it. Check out the 1st Simian album (Chemistry Is what We Are) for a truly great record. I Believe is out now on 7"/12" and CD (for your folks who haven't quite ditched the ole digital format yet...)

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Formerly the drums synths and electronics end of the band Simian, James and Jas were already DJing and sending out some inspired eclectic mix tapes as Simian Mobile Disco even before they were inspired to get back in the studio and start producing the same kind of amped up punky mixture of electro, techno and rave they were playing at parties.The result, after a couple of rapturously received one off singles is the debut LP – Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release. The album reconnects new rave with the spirit of its pill popping elder brother, a collection of songs that will appeal to dayglo kids clutching their Reading tickets as much as up all weekend clubbers booming their tickets to Ibiza. A record that revs up the dancefloor with indie attitude but an armful of immense breakdowns guaranteed to soundtrack your summer.
