Grown-up SMD, however, are an altogether different prospect. Rather than hammering the vibe that elevated them into the public’s consciousness, James Ford and Jas Shaw have matured. ‘Unpatterns’ is a tipping point and an opportunity to write their names larger in the history books than they could have managed with their disco-lite of old. They’ve taken the stabilisers off and decided against loading every barrel with a well-known vocalist. What you have instead is deep and soulful house music, dipping into the rustic Detroit techno sound of ‘Your Love Ain’t Fair’ and the repetitious synth-wave of ‘Put Your Hands Together’. The latter mines such a deep, rhythmic vein, it rapidly induces a hypnotic state.
‘Cerulean’ and ‘Seraphim’ are nestled next to each other, both on the tracklisting and stylistically, and together they characterise the advances the duo have made. The drumbeats are rich and buoyant, while the oscillating synths are playfully retro. The vocal line on ‘Seraphim’, with its painful refrain, “why can’t you be where I want you to be”, is the stuff life-changing nights out are made of. It’s blissful, soulful proof that although SMD might have stopped chasing the hit parade, they haven’t stopped making hits.

Simian Mobile Disco - Seraphim
QUOTE: It's a series of scenes of people going over their obsessive-compulsive type behaviours... as to how that refers to our music, on our new album we've been inspired by ideas of repeated loops and patterns breaking down and decaying over time. And the process of making electronic music lends itself to obsessive-compulsive tendencies..
