Simian Mobile Disco - Temporary Pleasure


now don't get me wrong, smd's last album was good but i personally don't think it was as good as it was bigged up to be. there were some quality tracks on there but it was too short and it wasn't all fantastic.

on first listen this album sounds better and more consistent (surprising considering the number of collaborations). i love the glitchiness of ambulance (almost a bit of a donk in there) and 10000 horses can't be wrong reminds me a bit of a slagsmalsklubben/chemical brothers collab, while listening to cream dreams just makes me so upset that neon neon will not do another album. highly recommended this one...
