Pitchfork

To say the lads of Simian Mobile Disco have had quite a year is a severe understatement. Their record-- Attack Decay Sustain Release-- is great, and just got a little greater with its recent release on these shores, thanks to the wonders of bonus material. They're successfully made the jump from DJ troupe to high-octane live act. Their fuzzier half-- James Ford-- produced two of 2007's highest profile British rock records, Klaxons' Mercury Prize-winning Myths of the Near Future and Arctic Monkeys' Favourite Worst Nightmare. And they've toured everywhere, with just about everybody. And it's only September.

Tonight, Simian Mobile Disco will take it on the road for a brief string of North American dates, beginning the last chapter in the group's storybook '07. Though there's plenty of time in October-- save CMJ, which they've committed to-- and the first half of November for remixes and production work and whatever else strikes their fancy (sleep, perhaps?), SMD are touring just about one out of every two nights through the next couple months, mostly with Klaxons and Chemical Brothers. Check 'em out.
