Simian Mobile Disco Primed for Attack, Tour

Go! Team's Ninja, former Clor vocalist guest
Simian Mobile Disco Primed for Attack, Tour They're preeminently danceable, they're on the move, and they're making the club kids go apeshit. Yep, the name pretty much says it all, and Simian Mobile Disco have finally revealed the details behind their just-a-wee-bit-anticipated debut LP.

Attack Decay Sustain Release takes its name from a synthesizer programming term and collects ten tracks, several of which nighthawks and avid Pitchfork readers will recognize: "It's the Beat", "Tits & Acid", "I Believe", and of course "Hustler", along with several brand new bangers. London's Wichita Recordings-- also the UK home to Peter Bjorn and John, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and Blood Brothers-- will release Attack overseas on June 18.

First single "It's the Beat"-- featuring a guest vocal by the Go! Team's Ninja and recently showcased over in Forkcast-- hits the shoppes first on March 26. It comes backed with a gaggle of choice remixes from such luminaries as Riton, Graham Massey (of 808 State fame), and Luke Vibert.

The LP, meanwhile, also boasts guest spots from Simon Lord (whom you may remember from SMD's Astralwerks-signed previous incarnation Simian), former Clor vocalist Barry Dobbin, and singer/songwriter Char Johnson. A forthcoming European version of the album will come bundled with a bonus disc (contents to be determined), while U.S. audiences should keep our eyes peeled for a Stateside release sometime after that.

Simian Mobile Disco have heaps of DJ dates lined up, including a SXSW stint that culminates with a set at Pitchfork's SXSW party with the Windish Agency-- a mere week from today! The duo will debut a brand new live formation in the UK in May. We's psyched.
