Disconnected Genius have their second full length album out and I listened and reviewed it for our zine.

These guys are hailing from Melbourne, Australia and this is their second album, following Dogs Chasing Fairy Tales. I must admit that this is a rather strange album title and Nirvikalpa means Without Alternative in sanskrit and Meow is a tribute to the singer Jamie˙s cat. The album contains 11 songs. The music of Disconnected Genius sounds basically like emotional punkrock with a lot of indie and alternative influences making it melodic, atmospheric and easy to the ear. Yet, don˙t be fooled, the strongest side of this band besides the music are definitely the lyrics. I like them because they are very smart and poetic, but they also kept smart undertones with the themes like politics and anti religious hypocrisy being themes in some songs. The singing is superb, the production is great, although I would like it to be a bit more dirty, gritty and raw and this band could be one of the new stars in the underground music scene sky. Favorite songs: About Nothing, Kings & Queens, Quietly Into The Night.
