Wisconsin band Disq have announced their sophomore album and a tour. Desperately Imagining Someplace Quiet comes out on October 7 via Saddle Creek (preorder), and features lead single “Cujo Kiddies.” The track is surrealistic and fun; it sounds a bit like Talking Heads in the instrumental, while bassist/vocalist Raina Bock bringing sweetness and a little grit to the lyrics. Raina said, “I wanted to make a song that sounded like a freight train full of clowns and silly toys, barreling through the dark, observing and taking note of the various gloomy landscapes of my brain (without dwelling too long or taking any of it too seriously).” Listen to “Cujo Kiddies,” and check out the album art and track list for Desperately Imagining Someplace Quiet, below.

Later this year, Disq will tour the US supporting Neko Case, and then headlining some shows of their own. Ducks Ltd. and Sea Lemon will join them on their headline dates, and for one show they’ll co-headline with Sorry. Disq and Ducks Ltd. come to Brooklyn for a show on November 21 at Baby’s All Right. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 22 at 10 AM, and you can see all dates below.
