1,000,000+ Simian Mobile Disco Fans Can’t Be Wrong

BIT slow on the uptake for this one I must confess, given that this track was first ripped off Radio 1 by some crafty bloggers about two months ago. In case any of you haven’t heard it though, here it is: new Simian Mobile Disco material!! 10,000 Horses Can’t Be Wrong is firmly in the Sleep Deprivation/Wooden/System style – minimally-technoish beats and clicks, made all the more aurally pleasing by SMD’s use of vintage synths, modular racks and such, which seems to give everything a cosy warm sound.

And here’s Synthesise, a track they introduced just before 10,000 Horses Can’t Be Wrong. If you’re wondering about the videos, they’re by Kate Moross and Alex Sushon. The former is only 23 years old and has already designed t-shirts/videos/illustrations for La Roux, The Teenagers, Chromatics and Punks Jump Up, as well as various advertising materials for Cadbury and Apple – basically one of those incredible youth success stories that makes you question what you’re doing with your life. Or maybe that’s just me…? Either way, if you’ll please excuse me, I have to head to the kitchen and devour a tub of Ben & Jerry’s Caramel Chew Chew and a family-size bag of Minstrels.
