Swedish post-hardcore/indie band DISCO ENSEMBLE returns with their fourth studio full length album The Island of Disco Ensemble set to hit stores on June 1st.
After having three previous albums that saw commercial success (Viper Ethics in 2003, First Aid Kit in 2005 and Magic Recoveries in 2008), Miikka Koivisto (Vocals), Jussi Ylikoski (Guitar), Mikko Hakila (Drums), and Lasse Lindfors (Bass) created a fourth album that promises to be there most adventurous.
Recorded in a smorgasbord of different studios in the bands native Finland, Disco Ensemble spent time in Petrax studios in Hollola, Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki and Fried studios in Helsinki. The man behind mixing board of the bands fourth and most mature work is producer/songwriter/radio-journalist Lasse Kurki.
Vocalist Miikka Koivisto on the new album, "The Island of Disco Ensemble couldn't have been born in any other time in history than now. The Island of Disco Ensemble is more consistent and accessible but at the same time more uncompromising and unique than our previous records."
Drummer Mikko Hakila adds: "This album is a natural follow-up to our previous albums. If Viper Ethics was first-album-excitement, First Aid Kit was more mature and Magic Recoveries was stretching the band's limits, then this one is a combination of all of that."
The album will be available as a CD, download and vinyl, and a limited edition book & CD package. Disco Ensemble is in the midst of a European tour and just released the first single from the new album, titled “White Flag for Peace.” Check it out now.

this is a great, great album
Newbie fan here and I can't wait for the US tour to come!! Put Charlotte, NC on the list!
This is a really awesome record! Great new music doesn't come to often in our days but these guys definitely make just that! Stream their album on myspace and then pick up it up ASAP!
AWESOME BAND! EVEN MORE AWESOME ALBUM! check it out on ITUNES NOW!!! I just picked it up, and my ears are pleasantly smiling :) Badass punk band from Finland with sweet accents who are probably already on the verge of exploding in the U.S. If you don't want to pick up the entire album, two highlight songs would probably be "White Flag for Peace" and "Protector". For fans of Rise Against, Against Me!, etc.
I wanna see these guys tour in the US! I was so excited for "The Island of Disco Ensemble" to come out this week and it would be awesome to see them perform it live.
These guys are most definitely one of my new favorite bands. Can't wait for "The Island of Disco Ensemble" to come, so I can play it nonstop for a week. Also let's all cross our fingers for a U.S tour
Damn these guys are so sick! If you're not convinced that buying this album would be a good idea you can stream in first on their myspace: www.myspace.com/discoensemble
or click the widget posted above!
And you should definitely buy it after you get tired of streaming... SO GOOD!
Disco Ensemble is blowing my mind! I had no idea the Finland band was so high energy! The guitar work and vocals are out of sight. If you like Panic at the Disco, it might be worth your hard earned cash to go buy The Island of Disco Ensemble! Bring Disco Ensemble to the States!
The Island Of Disco Ensemble #2 on The Finnish
National Album Charts. how amazing is that :) I was unsure of these guys at first, because I'd never heard of any FINNISH bands but I fell for these guys listening to the album nonstop all the way thru :) Love it!
These guys are so awesome! why did it take 4 albums for me to hear about them?!?!
