My Disco Releases Little Joy On Deluxe 2xLP, Major Nods To Celtics

Today, Noisey writer Paul Bridgewater asked me very nonchalantly over AIM what I’d picked up this year at Record Store Day. For those who don’t know, Record Store Day is a DIY holiday inaugurated in 2007. Once a year, snarky clerks at over 700 independently owned record shops worldwide drop the attitude and come together. This year saw limited edition vinyl coming in from a bunch of great bands. Just wish that Soundgarden 7" had made it to the presses in time. Well, this year I missed Record Store Day. I was stuck inside working, and couldn’t get any new vinyl. It makes me glad, however, to see that Noisey’s favorite Australian post-punkers My Disco are rereleasing their 2010 meditative masterpiece Little Joy as a deluxe double LP. Each copy will include a two-foot square poster, MP3 downloads, and etched vinyl. Apparently there are also a limited number of white and green swirled LPs available for all you Celtics fans out there. The album’s opener is called “Closer,” and it’s a record highlight for me. The band takes their tribal, meditative kraut to the extreme on this one, winding themselves up towards a bizarrely neurotic apex by the three-minute mark. Check it out here.
