Simian Mobile Disco mark the definitive break with their indie dance roots on Delicacies. Following on the coiled techno intensity of their Is Fixed mix album, the instrumental Delicacies avoids obvious hooks in favor of dark, rave-inspired synth riffing and hell-bent machine rhythms. The sound itself is exquisite, owing to the duo's analog gear as well as their expert knob-twiddling: For all the evil intent of their tritones, there's plenty of love in these immaculately crafted odes to the dark side of dance music.
