Dead Air Disco: Then By The Quiet

Dead Air Disco hail from Hokah, MN, a tiny town in Houston County area. Multi-instrumentalist Jason Lajter fantasized about putting together a kick-ass grunge shoegaze rock band, writing stacks of songs he was hoping to record sometime. His dream became reality when he met drummer Aaron LaGrange. As a duo they released an EP earlier this year and now there's the debut full-length Then By The Quiet, which contains a whopping 17 songs.

Lajter has created a monolith. There's a darkness and sense of foreboding to almost all of his songs that gets under the listener's skin. Shoegaze and grunge aren't a happy genre by default and trying to digest this album in one sitting may be a bit too much for the uninitiated. So his musical dream is a nightmare? He turned fighting his inner demons into art for anyone's who wants to listen. Enter at your own risk.

Jason Lajter: vocals, guitar, piano, synths, bass, programming
