My Disco, Paradise

My Disco, Paradise





Hail valuation: * * *Label: Stomp/RhythmethodVerdict: If you like Battles, render this, simply does not let in chipmunksDon't occupy, the record isn't stuck - it's just that the first data track is the saame riff repeated for about 2 minutes.That's non music and it's for certain non disco, I hear you screech.And you'd be right. My Disco are a three of bent and twisted Australians creating mechanical, and sometimes maniacal music, similar to Battles.However, My Discotheque experience a furrowed supercilium volume compared to Battles' to a greater extent tongue-in-cheek approaching.In fact, Paradise is completely together to a greater extent nasty than those Freshly York crazies and recalls the berserk noise spunk of New Zealanders Die!Die!Break!.The nastiness factor is exaggerated more by producer Steve Albini's minimal and low temperature transcription techniques.The oddly titled / churns along with jagged lashes of guitars; nine-minute racket epic poem An Even Sun is punctuated by shards of dissension and to a greater extent bludgeoning repetitive beatniks; there's a more melodic side to tracks like Mosaics and You Came To Me Like A Crab; and eerie outro Land, with the mantra, "It flew, until it hide" is exactly plain stitch weird.


Not for everyone, but for fans of bands dubbed math rock-and-roll, this is a must.
