Simian Mobile Disco - Whorl

Released in 2014, "Whorl" marks a significant shift in the sound of British electronic duo Simian Mobile Disco.

Unlike their previous house- and electro-driven works, this album delves into a more minimalist and experimental aesthetic, drawing inspiration from krautrock and ambient music. Recorded live in the California desert using only one modular synthesizer and sequencer per member, the album conveys an organic and hypnotic feel. Tracks like "Tangents" and "Dervish" stand out with their immersive structures and rich sonic textures, making "Whorl" a unique experience within the duo’s discography.
