English duo Simian Mobile Disco sure have a knack for keeping it together, I mean not only is the track fantastic, but the video is equally as intriguing.

English duo SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO sure have a knack for keeping it together, I mean not only is the track stunningly fantastic, but the video is equally as intriguing.

The digital design collaboration between Hans Lo and Kate Moross created this visual extreme, each visual designed to intensify the sound of the track.

The boys have a history for pursuing these geometrically alternative videos, with 'Cerulean' and 'Seraphim' amongst the mix. With their EP 'A Form of Change' being released on October the 2nd, the boys have been extremely busy to say the least.

The geometric appeal of this feature clip is rather interesting. I see a glimpse of features from artists such as M.C. Escher, through the shapeshifting, yet the shapes are so intrinsically simple and modern. The screen like display we see overlayed, highlights the eccentricity of the choices of shapes used and in turn, contrasts fantastically with the occasional splash of solid, primary colours. The video intensifies at each point that the song does, following a stable path. It's no doubt that we did indeed, wait for this.
