the departure of their drummer, steve shelley of sonic youth, might've been forboding if noah leger hadn't stepped in and ratcheted things up....after he's been in more RnR bands in chicago than you can even count on your fingers...... and now DISAPPEARS are definitely hitting their ominous forceful minimal chord stride..... no one else out the strips garage rock formula down to the barest of bones, amps up the feedback, tosses in plenty of motorik vibes, layers the hazy reverb and blasts off a whole new kinda of psych rock like they do on ERA..... lux, guider and pre language were all killer, but ERA is a STEP BEYOND..... a wormhole to the outer ends of the COSMOS.....after all that's what all those german bands meant by kosmische musik.......
ERA is insidious, eery, lysergic, hard hitting and certainly groundbreaking....nobody but DISAPPEARS could craft such an sparse, noisy psyche rock album out the shards of kraut, post punk and garage rock...... seriously if people outside of chicago don't start tuning into DISAPPEARS now, there's no hope for the world........
this is one highly recommended album YOU NEED TO OWN....!!!!!!
