Sub Pop’s My Disco new album – “Environment” is out Mar 1

Due out on March 1st, “Environment” is following their last acclaimed last full length “Severe” released 3 years ago via Brooklyn’s Temporary Residence Limited – also outlet of Mogwai, William Basinski, Lawrence English, more.
“Environment” is a product of specific surroundings: recorded over a two week period during Berlin winter 2018 in the same place where Einsturzende Neubauten, Keiji Haino, and Pan Sonic used to fix their concepts, the album is the most uncompromising and intense recording to date of the band, keeping their minimalist and dark trademark.

Downwards shares also a video teaser by Australian musician and visual artist Xavier Irvine, including an excerpt of the opening track.
