SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO ANNOUNCE ANTHOLOGY: 10 YEARS OF SMD
FOR RELEASE FRIDAY OCTOBER 20 ON WICHITA RECORDINGS VIA [PIAS] Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release
remastered on double vinyl ADSR Expansion: B-Sides & Remixes collection available digitally for the first time Friday October 6
2017 sees the 10-year anniversary of Simian Mobile Disco’s debut album, Attack Decay Sustain Release, and to celebrate, Wichita Records are releasing both the original LP, remastered and on double vinyl for the first time ever, on the Friday October 6 along with a collection of B-Sides and rare tracks from the Attack Decay Sustain Release era available digitally for the first time. Also being released is a special digital compilation Anthology: 10 Years Of SMD, featuring tracks selected by the duo from across their whole catalogue, showcasing the continuous aesthetic thread that runs through their diverse body of work released digitally on Friday October 20.
Formed from the ashes of psychedelic pop experimentalists, Simian, James Ford and Jas Shawhave been recording and performing as Simian Mobile Disco / SMD for over ten years and five studio albums. Over the course of their career, their sound has continuously evolved from record to record. Their continual re-invention can sometimes seem, from the outside, like a series of jumps, but that’s an effect of the process of releasing an album every couple of years. For the band, the process has been smooth and gradual, naturally following shifts in their own tastes and the musical landscape in which they found themselves. The sound however is distinctive enough to hold their body of work in a coherent whole.
From almost accidentally surfing the blog house wave with their much loved debut, Attack Decay Sustain Release; through their electronic pop productions on Temporary Pleasure; and what could perhaps be regarded as their magnum opus, the distillation of multiple influences and strands of UK dance and electronic music on the critically acclaimed Unpatterns; or their analogue/desert excursions on the more experimental Whorl and even the two sets of purely functional techno gear on Delicacies and Welcome To Sideways – all have what can only be described as SMD’s signature sonic aesthetics.
