Pre Language

2012 release from the Chicago-based Alt-Rockers. With Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth) now fully integrated into the lineup, Disappears return with a full-bore assault of a record. "Pre Language" finds the band speaking on, of all things, love. Direct allusions to Philip K. Dick, James Baldwin, and Joan of Arc sit side by side with songs about the lows of life and the characters that permeate it. Recorded in Hoboken, NJ at Sonic Youth's Echo Canyon West studio and mixed with John Congleton, Pre Language finds Disappears at their most potent and focused. The band has finally stepped into their own world and the results are thrilling.
