Progressively over the years My Disco has scraped, stripped and screeched their way into a sound of their own. The beginnings of the band spawned from the rubble of Clann Zu, a much loved Melbourne band led by Declan De Barra. When Declan left back to Europe brothers Liam and Ben Andrews took My Disco to full time status. Starting as a typical punk band the two, with the help of Rohan Rebiero, explored as many ideas as possible. From this initial pool of ideas the band slowly whittled their music down to a skeletal, minimalistic punk sound. This transition has been developed over 2 albums and several EPs.
Their latest release, Paradise, sees the band at their most stripped back to date. The exploration of minimalism, especially in a punk context is extremely exciting and it will be intriguing how far the band can push this. Most of the songs barely move to a second note. In writing this may sound terrible. What one must remember though is that the process to reach this sound can only be achieved through countless hours of aural exploration. The fact that Steve Albini produced the album strengthens their sound considering Albini is sympathetic to the bands aspirations and desires not to mention his undeniable skill as a producer.
