"Irreal", the fifth long player from Chicago's Disappears, is due out on 19th January, 2015, and is another trip down the rabbit hole. The album plays out as a dream sequence - hazed dub landscapes give way to the groupʼ's most experimental and open music yet. If their last 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.
Disappears will be on tour in the new year, including dates in Paris, Cologne, Berlin, Brussels, and London.
