Heavy Machinery Records is proud to present Alter Schwede, the stunning new album from Melbourne experimental legends MY DISCO.
MY DISCO formed between long-term collaborators Rohan Rebeiro, Benjamin Andrews and Liam Andrews in 2003. Renowned for their experimentation and refined minimalist approach to dark and heavy instrumentation, MY DISCO have built a reputation on their arduous tour ethic, having reached remote areas of Australia, Southeast Asia, Mexico and Russia, as well as a headlining and supporting on multiple tours across Europe, UK, US, and Asia Pacific.
MY DISCO have released many acclaimed singles, 12” limited editions, and five studio albums including: Cancer (2006), Paradise (2007), Little Joy (2010), Severe (2015), and Environment (2019).
Compiled remotely by the band and mix engineer Boris Wilsdorf at his AndereBaustelle studio in Berlin, Alter Schwede continues the band’s recent trajectory of ambient experimentation, utilising elements and sounds from their last album, Environment, as well as continuing their interest in unique percussion, dark FM synthesis and industrial noise.

Perfectly encapsulates how I've been feeling lately in life, this "strange otherness" and extreme disassociation that I cannot express. This song goes out to my closest friends and brothers who have lost friends to death and struggling with unresolved tramua and suffering endlessly like me Micah Young
This album perfectly binds the very best features of these three artists and crushes the resulting amalgamation of sound and structure into the sticky, icky doomy nectar that is this album. Every track is it's own unique experience, and not one of them is to be missed. I am so happy that this is in the world. Cypriene
The latest single from NY artist Maŕa is swathed in shadowy atmospherics and powered by jittery rhythms, ghostly & magnificent. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 2, 2021
