Simian Mobile Disco, Temporary Pleasure

On their sophomore effort, Temporary Pleasure, London-based producers James Ford and Jas Shaw serve up an exhilarating party platter of analog dance anthems, featuring an indie wet dream of collaborators from the Gossip’s Beth Ditto and Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor to Telepathe.

Standouts include “Off the Map,” which finally gives Jamie Lidell the dancefloor credit he deserves, and the plaintive-rap, Obama-spoofing stream of consciousness “Audacity of Huge,” featuring Yeasayer’s Chris Keating. The dance album of the year, it’s both immensely pleasurable and unfortunately temporary—thank God for the loop option.
