My Disco Essentials

My Disco Essentials

Taking their name from the Big Black song (not the fun-loving dance genre), Melbourne's My Disco emerged in the early ‘00s with a glowering, ominous post-punk sound not heard since The Birthday Party's heyday. Liam Andrews' whispered vocals conjure all of Nick Cave's gravitas amid the tom-heavy slink of “Successive Pleasure”. On frantic, noisy numbers like “Young” and “A Marker”, the band take their angular guitar riffs and whet them into a shiv. But on menacing slow-burners like the migraine thud of “1991”, My Disco find an unnerving balance between pressurised tribal drumming and empty, all-encompassing silence.
