Single Review... Simian Mobile Disco - Gizzard

The fifth release in the series of techno twelves on Simian Mobile Disco's new imprint Delicacies. Jas Shaw and James Ford have been accompanying these 12"s by curating their Delicatessen parties around the UK.

Gizzard:
Amalgamating hard edged analogue beat structures as well as some of the more mellow, melodic aspects of techno. This track is bouncy and enjoyable, easily played in a techno nightclub, this is one for the dark nights at home for sure. A track from an exciting act in electronic music. Towards the end of the track is where all of its energy is, I am loving this on full blast, shame its only 7am!!!
Out of 10: 7/10



Gizzard (Psycatron Remix):
If you though the original track was good you would be amazed to hear the remix on the flip side. A trippy remix awaits you as your speakers are treated to brilliant bass beats, a synthy orchestra . This is as long as the normal track but definitely worth the 8 minutes!

Track of the day... Simian Mobile Disco - Audacity Of Huge

Huge? It's got that pair of English guys who did 'Hustler' and 'I Belive' - whose old band did the song their loucher peers Justice turned into a transatlantic model for late-2000s house-as-rock hedonism. Huge? It's got that Chemical Brothers. You know it's got that Barack Obama. It's got that "grape Kool-Aid-filled swimming pool," with bass-line pool furniture and pitch-tweaked choral Marco Polo, all under a lofty laserarium sky. Huge

In short, new Simian Mobile Disco single "Audacity of Huge"-- from upcoming album Temporary Pleasure, the follow-up to 2007's small-scale smash Attack Decay Sustain Release is a limber, name-dropping, ear-catching body-mover, sleek and uncluttered and populist. Just to seal the deal, one of the most crossover-friendly electronic dance groups works with Chris Keating, singer for one of Brooklyn's more popular hippie art-rock groups. I can see "Audacity of Huge" being... well, pretty big.
