Returning dance dons Simian Mobile Disco have confirmed details of their new single ‘Cruel Intentions’ due for release on January 4th.
Simian Mobile Disco began as a guitar band with a sideline in remixing. Eventually ditching their six strings in favour of the mixing desk, the duo struck gold after Justice remixed an old track into a massive chart hit.
Becoming huge touring stars thanks to their stunning live show Simian Mobile Disco released a remix album last year. Returning in 2009 with new material, the duo have used the live arena as a launching pad for their new tracks.
Featuring a host of collaborations ‘Temporary Pleasure’ was released to warm acclaim over the summer. Coming on the back of a series of titanic festival performances Simian Mobile Disco seemed to win new fans with each passing week.
Forthcoming single ‘Cruel Intentions’ is taken from the recent album and features Gossip singer Beth Ditto on guest vocals. Having stormed the festival circuit herself, Ditto is the perfect foil for SMD’s pulsating electro-house.
The track will come, as ever, with a raft of remixes, Dubstep guru Joker has given ‘Cruel Intentions’ a touch of Brixton while his efforts have been joined by Maurice Fulton, Heartbreak, Greg Wilson and more.
Available on both seven inch and twelve inch formats ‘Cruel Intentions’ is driven by Beth Ditto’s soulful voice and could well appeal to both the dancefloor and the chart.
Simian Mobile Disco are set to release their new single ‘Cruel Intentions’ on January 4th. The duo have confirmed the following tour dates:
September
30 Brighton Concorde 2
October
6 Oxford O2 Academy
7 Newcastle Digital
8 Glasgow ABC
