To get us primed for the LP release, they shared one more single from the record. <em>Gentle<\/em> is a warped, grungy guitar pop romp penned and sung by the band\u2019s Logan Severson who describes the correlation between mental and physical health throughout the song. Listen to it via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HZcLHahzuD0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Severson on the meaning behind the song:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIn early 2019 my health was rapidly declining. I was losing weight quickly, my head was in a constant fog, and I was feeling very weak. When I went to the doctor, they came up with a few haphazard ideas, but had no real answers for me. These complications culminated in a loss of consciousness, as well as momentarily losing my eyesight (and control over my body) in the crowd of a Mitski concert in Madison that spring.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>In the weeks after returning from urgent care, I reflected more intently on my health and what could be causing me to feel so terribly. I realized how poorly I\u2019d been dealing with the aspects of my life that had been troubling me, and how fragile my mental and emotional state had really become. Instead of facing my problems and insecurities I chose to ignore them, coping through unhealthy habits. I was creating a vicious cycle of numbing myself to the root of my distress, only to then be confused as to why I felt so bad. Through this experience, I realized the true gravity of the intersection between my mental, emotional, and physical well being. This song is about discovering that connection, and trying to uncover how I fell into these tendencies that cause me harm.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disq are heading out on the road for their first-ever headline tour throughout North America in April and then on to Ireland and the UK in May, following SXSW next month. See below to find a show near you, and get your tickets\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/prescriptionpr.cmail20.com\/t\/j-l-cuhhhhl-ejlihlkhu-u\/\">HERE<\/a>\u00a0now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Collector,\u2018 like the band itself, is defined and tightly-contoured by the ties between its members. Raina Bock (bass\/vocals) and Isaac deBroux-Slone (guitar\/vocals) have known each other from infancy, growing up and into music together. Now in their early 20s and a five-piece, rounded out by Shannon Connor (guitar\/keys\/vocals), Logan Severson (guitar\/vocals), and Brendan Manley (drums), Disq have assembled a razor-sharp, teetering-on-the-edge-of-chaos melange of sounds, experiences, memories, and influences on their debut LP. Produced by Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliot Smith, Kurt Vile), Collector is a set of songs largely pulled from each of the five members&#8217; demo piles over the years. They&#8217;re organic representations of each moment in time, gathered together to tell a mixtape-story of growing up in 21st century America with your best friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2020 tour dates<\/strong><br>3\/16-22 &#8211; Austin, TX @ SXSW<br>4\/3 &#8211; Iowa City, IA @ Mission Creek Festival<br>4\/4 &#8211; Chicago, IL @ Schubas ^<br>4\/6 &#8211; Detroit, MI @ PJ&#8217;s Lager House ^<br>4\/7 &#8211; Toronto, ON @ The Drake ^<br>4\/9 &#8211; Boston, MA @ Great Scott ^<br>4\/10\u00a0&#8211; New York, NY @ Rough Trade ^<br>4\/11\u00a0&#8211; Philadelphia, PA @ Boot &amp; Saddle ^<br>4\/12\u00a0&#8211; Washington, DC @ Songbyrd ^<br>4\/14\u00a0&#8211; Nashville, TN @ High Watt<br>4\/15\u00a0&#8211; Kansas City, MO @ Uptown Theater<br>4\/17\u00a0&#8211; Denver, CO @ Larimer Lounge<br>4\/18\u00a0&#8211; Salt Lake City, UT @ Kilby Court<br>4\/20\u00a0&#8211; San Diego, CA @ Soda Bar ~<br>4\/21\u00a0&#8211; Los Angeles, CA @ The Echo ~<br>4\/22\u00a0&#8211; San Francisco, CA @ Cafe du Nord ~<br>4\/24\u00a0&#8211; Seattle, WA @ Barboza ~<br>4\/25\u00a0&#8211; Portland, OR @ Doug Fir ~<br>4\/28\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0Minneapolis, MN\u00a0@\u00a07th St\u00a0Entry<br>5\/1 &#8211;\u00a0Madison, WI\u00a0@ High Noon Saloon<br>5\/12\u00a0&#8211; Dublin, IE @ Eastbound Festival<br>5\/13\u00a0&#8211; London, UK @ Brixton Windmill<br>5\/14\u00a0&#8211; Brighton, UK @ The Great Escape<br>5\/21\u00a0&#8211; Paris, FR @ Villette Sonique<br>5\/23\u00a0&#8211; Amsterdam, NL @ London Calling\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>^ w\/ Pom Pom Squad<br>~ w\/ Girl Friday<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Madison, WI&#8217;s Disq are getting ready to release their new album and Saddle Creek debut \u2018Collector\u2018 next week.
