Fire Track: Disq – “Cujo Kiddies”

Disq – the Wisconsin-bred rock band – announces its new album, Desperately Imagining Someplace Quiet, out October 7th, lead single “Cujo Kiddies,” and North American tour (dates below).

Desperately Imagining Someplace Quiet reaffirms the charms of Collector, Disq’s 2020 debut album, while pushing the sound and dynamic of the band in exciting and unexpected new directions. It is fitting that the album’s clever backronym effectively makes this DISQ’s self-titled album, as it introduces the public to a new Disq, a band both seasoned by experience and newly invigorated toward vivid new heights.

Lead single “Cujo Kiddies” doubles as a thrilling re-introduction to Disq and a playful entry-point to the expansive sonic landscape of Desperately Imagining Someplace Quiet. “I finally hooked up with the metal machine // I’m finding comfort in the metal machine,” bassist/songwriter/vocalist Raina Bock intones in pitch-shifted vocals that hover above skittering production. Bock explains: “I wanted to make a song that sounded like a freight train full of clowns and silly toys, barreling through the dark, observing and taking note of the various gloomy landscapes of my brain (without dwelling too long or taking any of it too seriously).”

You can order the album HERE.
