‘Cancer’My Disco
(Numerical Thief/Stomp)
This album is one that I’d call a “grower”. Lyrically sparse, and with spatially separate twangy bass, chunky guitar and rattling drums somewhat uniform throughout all the songs, it failed to grab my attention at first. Somehow, however, upon several listens, the sound of this Melbourne three-piece begins to develop a bit of a groove. Each track does sound very similar, but it’s actually quite addictive and you find yourself wanting more of those sombre bass riffs, anxious chords and irregular time signatures. ‘Cancer’ is highly impressive for My Disco’s first full-length album, one that effectively explores sonic ideas of minimalism, dissonance, abruptness and spatiality.
