TTNG were formerly "This Town Needs Guns". Their third full-length and first record since becoming a trio .In the years since their last album they have toured the US and Europe multiple times, including a North American run with TWIABP & Foxing in late 2015 and a sold out UK/EU co-headlining tour with Foxing in April 2016.. Recorded live to tape over 10 days at Chicago's legendary Electrical Audio studios by Greg Norman (Mclusky, Russian Circles, etc.), and mastered by Shellac's Bob Weston, Disappointment Island proves that the band's success comes from their ability to write songs whose appeal endures well after the sheer awe of their technical prowess subsides. It's easy to understand how people can focus on the band's complex time signatures and elaborate fretwork, but as their fans will tell you, there's much more to TTNG. "Everyone assumes we write in odd meters to be awkward and weird," muses Henry Tremain. "Actually, we're just writing the music we want to write, and it happens to come out like that." In this case, TTNG have created an album filled with solemn subject matter where, much like the disparity between the name and setting of Disappointment Island, the lyrical themes stand in stark contrast to the exciting, propellant music the trio cre-ates together.
