PITCHFORK 7.0!! 2010 was a busy year for the Disappears. Their debut album Lux was released, they did a fair amount of touring, & they recorded this new album. Having worked these new songs into proper shape in the live setting, they went into the studio & ripped through the recordings, using the first take on all but one of the tracks. And Disappears are so much about the NOW & not the THEN that they recorded over the same reels of tape that they used for their first album. "Guider" means to control or influence, which is what all the songs ended up being about in one form or another. This is a heads down, blinders on, damn the distractions, forward driving, controlled squall. Drop the needle, turn up the volume & surrender to the delicious.
