The techno wizards of electro in forms from minimalism to pop
It’s hard to not wish for another I Believe or Audacity Of Huge from Simian Mobile Disco – the techno wizards of electro in forms from minimalism to pop – though one thing is always certain; just trust, go with the flow and James Ford and Jas Shaw will undoubtedly provide moments to get lost in.
Lead single Tangents provides the easiest entry point on their fourth record; building from an egoless beat, the pair gradually add their trademark melodic flourishes and bleeps before deconstructing, then reassembling. And to think they did it all in analogue form, due to a desire to remove computers from their process… Clever blokes.
