Acclaimed Belgium post-punk band DISORIENTATIONS on UK tour this week!
New album ‘Lost Today’ out now
Disorientations is a post-punk band from Antwerp, Belgium, composed of lifelong friends Lukas Van Camp on bass, Tomas Serrien on drums and Niels Elsermans on vocals and guitar. The moniker came to exist while jamming endlessly as a way to process shared loss experiences.
Combining an old 80’s vibe with more alternative punk and noise music, their music became characterized by an intense and contemporary cold-blooded sound that comes to life during their intense and noisy performances.
Their debut album ‘Memory Lanes’ was released on [PIAS] Recordings in 2022, receiving critical acclaim, in and outside the underground scene. Their second album ‘Lost Today’ (out now) combines a harsh emotional sound, raw rhythmic power and captivating vocals with in-depth songwriting. ‘Lost Today’ is a collection of introspective and haunting songs. It embodies the compelling moods and emotions of the members of the band.
Disorientations’ music is a translation of contradictions in life. They sing about love & loss, about how to deal with the vast emptiness that manifests itself when you lose something fragile.
‘Lost Today’ is packed to the rafters with dark, intense, and electrifying songs. They combine sharp bursts of noise rock, the melancholic atmosphere of post-punk and an airy wall of sound reminiscent of the early 90s shoegaze vibe to something fresh, exciting, and urgent.
The band will venture over to the UK for shows this summer as follows:
Disorientations 2024 UK Tour:
08.08 @ Broadcast, Glasgow
09.08 @ The New Aldelphi Club, Hull
10.08 @ Quarry (Frogfest), Liverpool
Dmillyyy kicked off the month of love with the lead single, “Balance.” “Balance” was Dmillyyy’s first song of the year. The record served as a teaser for his new EP, Cupid Pack, which was released on Valentine’s Day. Cupid Pack is a five-track EP that dives into the intricacies of love. The EP is an eclectic body of work as it utilizes various genres of music, such as Alternative R&B, Melodic Rap, and Reggaeton.
Cupid Pack starts off with the song, “Thunderstruck.” The track is a record that features a wavy beat and Dmillyyy’s smooth flow. The sound is reminiscent of Jaden. The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale. The sensual track embodies passion and love.
The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
