Album Of The Day: Disappear by PFR

Album Art of PFR's Disappear album - On a creamy white background and border, the bottom three quarters is a color photo of three young men leaning into the middle of a camera frame and looking at the camera. They are flanked on both sides and stretching into the background by metal walls with a few lines of rivets, maybe like they're standing in between two large ship's hulls or something. The walls converge in the middle distance, and there's a bit of bright light there. Right above that point in the middle is printed the band's name in black and the album title in thinner gray print directly underneath the band name.

Released 24 years ago today, this is the fifth studio album from the band PFR. In 1996, the band broke up, but in 2000 they reunited for a track on the Roaring Lambs album. They decided to reunite and recorded an album, but as soon as the album was released, their label folded and the album never really got the promotion they deserved. The band may have been a bit disappointed with the sound, though I have a copy of the CD and it sounds very good to me. It's definitely not exactly the same as their '90s albums, but it's some solid rock/pop songs with some three-part harmonies and religious language. 24 years later, they are working to give fans a chance to rediscover the album. Through a crowd-funding campaign, they are getting the album remastered and will release it on CD, vinyl and streaming. So whether you have heard this album or if you have not, you can support their Kickstarter campaign to re-release the album independently, and sometime this year or next, it will be on streaming for everyone to hear.
