DAILY FIX: Simian Mobile Disco – Cerulean

by | Apr 5, 2012 | MUSIC

If the new Simian Mobile Disco track is a sample of how their new album, Unpatterns, will be; consider me sold. After a return-to-techno-form with their 2010 release of Delicacies, an album worthy of my praise, but a huge jump from their more club-oriented 2009 release, Temporary Pleasure, Simian Mobile Disco seem to be gearing up for a widely successful year.

The entrancing music video for this new track hooked me after the first 10 seconds, and it has me counting down the days until the new album is released. Never have I been so captivated by the most geometric of shapes.
