Interview: My Disco

Melbourne three-piece MY DISCO last played in New Zealand at Campus A Low Hum in 2011. It’s a gig which has stuck with me. I remember it fondly for its minimalist outlook yet monstrous intensity. So it’s with great excitement that they are returning here for Auckland and Wellington shows later this week.

These shows came on the back of last year's fourth album Severe. It’s a dramatic change from the Steve Albini produced albums Little Joy (2010) and Paradise (2008). This time they got in acclaimed film composer Cornel Wilczek on production duties, and have released an album which is an all-out brutal attack on the senses. It’s an uncompromising, stark and a beautifully difficult listen. In anticipation of their visit, UnderTheRadar asked guitarist Ben Andrews a few questions about Severe, band longevity and what we can expect from the upcoming shows....
