So one day they just packed up their bags and left.
Heading out to the desert, Simian Mobile Disco took with them some meagre supplies and a mountain of vintage kit. Honed during those endless desert nights, new album 'Whorl' is one of the group's most distinctive, physical experiences to date.
Out this Autumn, 'Whorl' will be preceded by a new single. All propulsive techno beats and twinkling melodies, 'Tangents' has more in common with Jon Hopkins, say, than French electro.
Shedding their pop pretensions, Simian Mobile Disco are going all in on rather more adventurous fare. 'Blake's Hitch' sits on the flip, and is rather more soothing, but for now let's bask in 'Tangents'.
'Tangents' is set to be released on September 8th.
