Distophia are set to return this summer with “Beat Dyslexia”, their debut full-length and the album the Birmingham-based noise-rock/lo-fi four-piece have always dreamed of making. Spurred on by the rise of the manufactured alternative and seeking to fight the encroaching apathy which genuinely left-field music currently experiences, the band returned to Staffordshire-based studio The Vicarage during the summer of 2004 to commence work on their latest offering. Under the watchful eye of mentor Tom Livemore, the band threw their diverse collective influences into the mix with reckless abandon, creating an album which echoes bands as diverse as Sonic Youth, The Beach Boys, Yo La Tengo, My Bloody Valentine and beyond, while still retaining Distophia’s effortlessly raging, utterly distinctive sound.
