"Disco" is the 2019 lead single from the album Heaven Surrounds You by the band Surf Curse for the label Danger Collective. It was released on 12 June alongside a music video directed by band member Nick Rattigan [1] The song, in part inspired by the film The Last Days of Disco, was praised for its use of guitar and percussion. [2] [3]
The song was released on 12 June 2019 ahead of Heaven Surrounds You, [1] Surf Curse's first album after band members Nick Rattigan and Jacob Rubeck relocated from Reno, Nevada, to Los Angeles. [2]
Released after "two years of silence from the band", Adrian Vargas of Atwood Magazine called the song "the strongest contenders for 2019’s best dance anthem." [3] Quinlan Keeley, writing for Stereogum, compared the song favorably to " A-Punk" and other early Vampire Weekend songs, saying the track has a "sparky guitar voice." [1] Abby Jones of Pitchfork also positively compared the track to Vampire Weekend's debut, calling it the best song of the album. [4]
The song was chosen to close some of the band's concerts during their 2022 tour, during which the song was particularly well-received during their tour opener in Las Vegas and at their November show in Houston. [5] [6]
The music video, also released 12 June 2019, was directed by Rattigan. [7] The video depicts "evening of raw emotion" between a couple in an apartment, dancing to the song in a "warmly-lit" apartment that, part way through the video, turns blue, hazy, and covered in tinsel like a "dimly lit dance hall". [3] [1] Vargas described the video as showing the couple as "stillness surrounds them", leaving viewers "breathless". [3] Rubeck said the dancing was inspired by Hal Hartley dance videos. [2]
