TV Ghost's practice of coaptation began in the winter of 2006, when the young virtuosos birthed a disheveled, experimental noise nurtured by raw ambition. The avant-garde sound led them to the beginning stages of their career, releasing a single, Atomic Rain B/W Bird Flu, with Die Stasi Records in 2007 (youngest member only 14). In the same year they issued a self-titled 12&, again, with Die Stasi. One year later they were signed with In The Red Records out of Los Angeles, California. In July of 2009, In The Red released their debut album, Cold Fish, evoking a sinsister ambiance with terror-stricken waves of guitar and discomforting vocals. Two years after Cold Fish, their sophomore album, Mass Dream, made clear of the maturity and experience they had gained as individual musicians; with less erraticism, rage, and scuzz, it produced grotesque articulation with a darker mood. Although, often compared to early-Echo and The Bunnymen and/or The Cramps, due to Gick's lamenting vocals, it is rather cheap to associate them with such proverbial post-punk legends. TV Ghost is obstensibly their own and if there must be a comparison they would be the children of horror soundtracks bound to dreams; steadily innovating and evolving their sound with age, Disconnect breaks the barrier for these Midwest boys.

Cold Fish Taking their name from the phenomenon of analog television frequency disturbances, Lafayette, Indiana's TV Ghost began as purveyors of an especially sludgy and punishing brand of art-punk. The band formed in 2006, with vocalists/guitarists Tim Gick and Jimmy Frezza recruiting keyboardist Brahne Hoeft and drummer Jackson VanHorn. Their first 7&, &Atomic Rain,& was released by Die Stasi Records, also home at the time to the noisy likes of Pink Reason and Zola Jesus. The band's sinister sound -- which echoed the Scientists and the Cramps' mid-'70s output -- and frantic live shows won them an underground following. Late in 2007, Frezza left the band to go to art school, and bassist Shawn Beckering joined the fold in time to record a nine-song EP that arrived in early 2008. That year, TV Ghost signed to In the Red to release a full-length album and appeared at the label's South by Southwest showcase. The band also released The Fiend/Prodome as a part of Columbus Discount's Single of the Month Club in May 2009, a few months before their debut full-length Cold Fish surfaced. In 2010, VanHorn departed; Hoeft took over drumming duties and Frezza returned as keyboardist. Gick, Hoeft, and Frezza recorded the band's second album, Mass Dream, and TV Ghost then embarked on a lengthy tour of the U.S. and Europe. Once the tour was finished, Beckering left and TV Ghost recruited bassist Tristan Ivas. In the Red released Mass Dream in April 2011, and the following year the Phantasm/Panic Area single arrived on Sweet Rot Records. Later in 2012, VanHorn rejoined TV Ghost as a guitarist, and this lineup of the band opted for a slower, more expansive sound influenced by Echo and the Bunnymen and the Cure. The hypnotic Disconnect, which featured production work by Chris Woodhouse, arrived in September 2013.
