It was just last June that we announced the union of British beatmakers Simian Mobile Disco and Interscope Records, joined together in blissful matrimony for the purpose of delivering Simian Mobile Disco's breakout debut album Attack Decay Sustain Release to U.S. shores.

But only eight months, several amazing tours, countless EPs, and a bazillion remixes later, SMD and Interscope have gone their separate ways. That's right: Simian Mobile Disco are now free agents on our side of the pond. (They're still signed to Wichita Recordings in Europe.) Hear that, labels looking for new signings?

James Ford and James Shaw are on the road at this very moment, jumping from Canada to Mexico this weekend, New York to Florida next week, and then back to the West Coast in late April for a string of dates leading up to Coachella. Then in summer, they're off to the summer festival circuit in Europe.
