Simian Mobile Disco - Seraphim

Simian Mobile Disco hail from London, and comprised of James Ford and James Shaw (from the band Simian). They garnered notoriety with their release We Are Your Friends which also featured French electro duo Justice. The video went on to win best video at the MTV Europe Video Awards (much to the dismay of Kanye West).
 
Simian Mobile Disco emerged and released their debut album in 2007 entitled "Attack Sustain Delay Release." My personal favorite cut from the album is "I Believe."
Fast forward to 2012, and SMD brings their fourth album, Unpatterns. Debut single Seraphim was made available for free download, and the video tackles the subject of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The lyrics "why can't you be where I want you to be" are projected quite literally in the clip. An interesting interpretation of what can be a debilitating disease. Oh, and the track sounds quite good too!
