Who are Disappears? Disappears are whoever you want them to be, baby. Are they Krautrock? Are they garage rock? Facts are scant, but we do know that the band consists of 90 Day Men’s Brian Case, Graeme Gibson, and at times, John Dwyer of Thee Oh Sees and Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth. Shelley appears on Disappears’ most recent album, Guider (TMT Review), which came out in January on Kranky. The band will be hitting the road to rep Guider this summer.
Joining Disappears on tour will be The Psychic Paramount, an experimental band from New York who just snuck into our “Favorite 100 Albums of 2000-2009” list. Toward the end of Disappears’ great American roadtrip, they’ll meet up with Obits, who’ve got a little record of their own to show off, Moody, Standard and Poor, available now on Sub Pop.
