Disorientations - Lost Today (Coloured Vinyl) (LP)

Belpop.

Disorientations is a postpunkband from Antwerp, Belgium. Formed as a 3-piece in 2018, after years of performing in other bands like Melting Time and Lagüna, they quickly grew out into a full-fledged and close-knit group. Lifelong friends Lukas Van Camp (bass), Tomas Serrien (drums) and Niels Elsermans (vocals, guitar) felt a need to start jamming endlessly as a way to process shared loss experiences. Their collaborative writing process soon led to songs inspired by the melancholic dark 80s. While combining new wave 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.

After releasing their debut album ‘Memory Lanes’ (2022), the band got into long jam sessions to achieve a capricious writing phase by bundling their best assets. ‘Lost Today’ is the stunning result of these late nite sessions..
It embraces their harsh emotional sound, the raw rhythmic power and the captivating vocals with more adventurous songwriting. By experimenting with additional guitar layers their new music opens up an exciting path towards an alternative and mature sound that seems to reconcile the sharp bursts of noise rock, the melancholic atmosphere of post-punk and a airy wall of sound reminiscent of the early 90s shoegaze vibe.
