Disappears are also touring in support of their most recent, and fifth full length Irreal released earlier this year through kranky. Another trip down the rabbit hole, the album plays out as a dream sequence – hazed dub landscapes give way to the groupʼs most experimental and open music yet. If their previous album Era confirmed the fact that Disappears are on their own trip, then Irreal is where it kicks in.
Eternalism, roboethics, identity – the album is a Ballardian mix of imperfect melodies, half thoughts and good ol’ dystopian modernity. It is a masterclass in texture, pace and control. Produced by John Congleton at famed Chicago recording institution Electrical Audio, Irreal sits in the negative space where art rock and post punk collapse onto each other. Irreal is the sound of Disappears reporting back from The Void.
