When you go to see Simian Mobile Disco live, make sure you are seeing the “proper set” as opposed to the DJ set. You’ll likely get SMD tunes either way, but only one comes with a massive light rig and a billion knobs spread across towering audio equipment to provide you with visual comfort that there is actually something more involved than clicking mouses. (There is.) The video for new single “Synthesise” that’s floating around today gets a title card calling it a “live performance,” but here that means the clip’s directors (Kate Moross & Alex Sushon) have constructed a live visual performance to synchronize with “Synthesise”‘s synthetic keyboard house. In other words if you see this one live it won’t necessarily look like this, which is for the best because SMD crowds are already doing perfectly great in the so-close-to-having-a-seizure department.

“Snthesise” is out soon via Beatport.
