Simian Mobile Disco Expose Their Sticky Robot Hearts
Simian Mobile Disco’s “Audacity Of Huge” is an aggressively, ridiculously retro song–a PM Dawn reference is nearly back-to-back with a brand-drop of the MiniDisc, for Pete’s sake!–and its attendant video, directed by the London-based Kate Moross, is pretty straight-up in the way it wields bright colors, orphaned Radio Shack robots, trading cards featuring personalities who possess cadence-appropriate names, and American Apparel bikini bottoms in order to sear itself onto viewers’ eyeballs. (The song, I suspect, will be my “Ice Cream” of this year, thanks to its big dumb synth backing and blender-drink chill.) [YouTube; HT Jeff Rosenthal]
