Ssss is the debut studio album by English electronic music duo VCMG.[9] It was released in 2012 by Mute Records.[10]

Critical reception

The Guardian wrote that "the analogue synths and electronic squelches could have boomed out of a darkened club at any time in the last two decades, but repeated listens reveal expertise with a sense of fun."[5] The Quietus wrote that "not least of its triumphs is that – without context, without history – it is simply fantastic music to dance to."[11]
