Disappears

As I logged on today to post this, I looked at the blogger “dashboard”, where you get a report on the page views and traffic sources. And I need this explained to me: how on earth does a “dental implant site” lead you to IndieDunes, or indie anything for that matter?! Strange day…

Disappears (Chicago, USA obviously)

Disappears have been around since 2008, in that time they’ve released three albums – Lux in 2010, Guider in 2011 and Pre Language in 2012.

This is not a band of teenagers – Brian Case who put the band together used to be with 90 Day Men (formed in mid 90s), and the drummer is none other than Sonic Youth’s Steve Shelly. Guitarist Jonathan Van Herik and bassist Damon Carruesco form the rest of the band.

Their style is described from shoegaze (adds the genre to Word’s dictionary which INSISTS it shoe gaze ffs) over krautrock (oh Word hasn’t even got a suggestion for a replacement for this one) to alternative and garage rock, safe to say no harps and tambourines, rather Reverb Delay Drums Heavy Tremolo Feedback Guitars Repetition (I’m quoting their Soundcloud).

I was reading various reviews of their debut album – and what caught my attention is the fact that every reviewer had a different fave track – not one stood out – which to me translates into equal attention given to the whole album as opposed to chasing a hit. Love <3.

Tune on repeat today (and yesterday for that matter):
From Lux – Magics

Enjoy and spread the word xxx
