Keyword results: My Disco
When sounds gets sciencey, don't think Bunsen burners and bubbling liquids; think Secret Birds. The band itself is an evolution of the facets of the Brisbane music scene (in layman's terms - lots of dudes from lots of other bands) - they have 4, sometimes 5, sometimes 6 members - and they don't say so much as boo.
Reductive art-rock trio My Disco continue to distil the drums-guitar setup to its essence with Paradise- a new album of unsettling, hyper-disciplined, one-or-two-note dancing drills. It's a case of same-same, but different here in terms of songs, but knowingly, as each acts as a complementary exercise in the group's overall instrumental purification project.

FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
