Disappears Flex Geometry 'Power' In New Video

Disappears just released their most experimental work yet with this week's Era, the Chicago quartet's fourth album in as many years. That's really saying something, considering that just this past April, the metronomic psychedelics released an EP with two versions of the same song. (Each rendition being at least 10 minutes long.)

Era, though, takes the band's amalgams of eclectic underground rock and shakes it up, adding dub and avant-garde influences to make an album of outer-edged space-funk.

Radical as it may seem to some listeners, Era is better than a reinvention: it's a recalibration--a mix of what made Disappears great, and what will continue to make them compelling listening.

The band's new video for Era track "Power" was premiered by Spin, and it will do exactly that to your head. (Especially if you are a stoner geometry major.)
