call it post-punk, or garage rock, or whatever. Also reminds me of the stuff out of which punk grew too: Eddie and the Hot Rods, Dr. Feelgood. Whatever it is, this stuff rocks: I love to play it loud in the car during the morning commute--gets me ready for the day. The production is a bit too muffled, but the music is alive and well
The Disappears deliver a rocker with their 6 song Guider album available now via Kranky Records. Guider has an obvious raw, edgy, garage rock feel to it. There is no nice soft cuddly part to this record. It starts with a bang and ends the same way. Guider is just barely over 30 minutes in length and half of that comes from 'revisiting' which can captivate you more then any other song 15 minutes plus that I can recall. The other five songs are pretty compact and come at you fast. Guider has a steady beat that sets up the album nicely. Halo has some drum action that can't be missed and my fav song Superstition basically wraps up Guider with a short powerful jolt.
Also, check Disappear's first LP: "Lux" ... this is the sort of shit that really grows on you, extremely listenable music that expands with repeated listen (instead of being initially, catchy, but eventually annoying). Don't miss Chicago blood-relative "The Ponys"; you can't go wrong
That's what emusic describe this as. Has anyone at emusic heard any Krautrock. Sounds more like Bauhaus...Sadly emusic slides even lower in my estimations...
Remember, during the halcyon days of the video store, the "Staff Picks" shelf?

We're taking that principle and running with it: eMusic is proud to present this regular, monthly roundup of our editors 'and members 'current faves. Whether it came out 30 years… more »
