Simian Mobile Disco - It's The Beat


James Ford and James Shaw have gone from using vacuum cleaners for percussion (on previous incarnation Simian's 'Chemistry Is What We Are' album) to being the lean, clean remix machines (best is their wholesale slash-up of The Klaxons' 'Magick').

This is off of their forthcoming, wonderfully titled debut album 'Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release', features Ninja from The Go! Team on vocals, a shameless nick of Technotronic's 'Pump Up The Jam' riff and - my favourite - an audacious, breath-holding breakdown of three-second silence.

It'll soon be as inescapable as last year's Justice twist on 'We Are Your Friends'. Lots of luck with the being a "freak on the dancefloor" thing, though. Unless you're well and truly twisted out of your tits on something glitchy and metabolically shambolic.
