    Guider invites listeners' touch with its seductively rounded edges, but sends them away with skinned fingertips.

    Concise yet ambitious, Guider finds Disappears firing on all cylinders and going far beyond Lux's promise.

    Guider may be a little jagged around the edges, but it's that one-take immediacy that gives the record its legs. Observing this brand of ultra-violence is thrilling, but the action can be a bit messy at times.

    The straightforward manner in which Disappears present themselves makes it easy to take the album at face value and enjoy its vibe and vigor without worrying about its place in the broader canon.
