Simian Mobile Disco Release Brand New EP

Simian Mobile Disco are releasing their brand new 4-track EP, A Form Of Change, on October 1 on Wichita Recordings.

Fresh off the release of their critically acclaimed album Unpatterns comes a brand new EP from the tirelessly innovative Simian Mobile Disco, aka James Ford and Jas Shaw.

The EP collects four tracks from the Unpatterns recording sessions, which for one reason or other, didn’t quite fit in on the album. Once again, we hear the band plowing the furrow of manipulating subtle modifications to machine generated patterns, allowing parts to drift and shift, and new forms to be teased out.

The title track opens with two minutes of ambient textures and warm drones, before snapping on a kick-and-woodblock pattern that anchors the track as the various melodies weave in and out of time with each other over the sprawling psychedelic background.

A Form of Change EP is another sterling example of Simian Mobile Disco’s restless creativity, and their yen for refining and redefining the parameters of their own musical landscape with almost laserlike precision, following Brian Eno’s maxim that “repetition is a form of change”. Given the stunning scope of the EP, that principle is hard to deny.

Simian Mobile Disco will also be heading out in the autumn, taking their renowned live analogue show on the road for shows across the UK and Europe. For a sample of their incredible live experience, watch their amazing Boiler Room session here: https://youtu.be/Ji06BDBSw3U
