Biography
The Disengagement is a four piece rock outfit from Atlantic Canada, consisting of Lanny Cox (vocals/guitar), Kevin Carey (guitar), Dane Colombe (bass), and Greg Hann (drums). Fans and critics have described the band's music as original, densely textured, and lyrically surrealistic. Encompassing several genres including indie rock, power pop, folk, and progressive rock, they have been compared to such artists as Built to Spill, Elliott Smith, and Sonic Youth.
The Disengagement began to take shape as a band in early 2006, with the group meeting up in Stephenville, Newfoundland. The band's first self-titled LP was released in September of 2007 and was followed by a move to Nova Scotia and a two-year period of live gigging, writing, and recording throughout 2008 and 2009.
Most recently, the group has released a sophomore LP entitled Masters in Escapism, released on CD and through iTunes on September 30th, 2009. (from http://www.myspace.com/thedisengagement)
