Disq have assembled a razor-sharp, teetering-on-the-edge-of-chaos mélange of sounds, experiences, memories, and influences. Collector ought to be taken literally, it is a place to explore and catalogue the Madison, Wisconsin band's relationships to themselves, their pasts, and the world beyond the American midwest as they careen from their teens into their 20s. This turbulence is backdropped by gnarled power pop, anxious post-punk, warm psych-folk, and hectic, formless, tongue-in-cheek indie rock. Collector, like the band itself, is defined and tightly contoured by the ties between the five members. Produced by Rob Schnapf, Collector is a set of songs largely pulled from each of the five members' demo piles over the years.
