Disquiet is the fourteenth studio album by the band Therapy?, and the first album to be released on new UK label Amazing Record Co.. Produced by Tom Dalgety (Royal Blood/Band of Skulls/Turbowolf), it was released on 23 March 2015.
Demo sessions for the album began at Blast Studios, Newcastle, England on 18 February 2014. The band laid down 18 tracks and completed pre-production on 28 February 2014.[2] The album proper was recorded from 17 April to 30 April 2014 at Blast Studios.[3] The albums' release was delayed by almost a year due to their record company Blast Records shutting down and the band then signing with fledgling Amazing Record Co..
Pre-orders of the album were announced on 23 February 2015 and included an instant download of two album tracks and an exclusive pre-order track called We Kill People. A digital only single called Still Hurts, featuring two more non-album tracks, was released on 9 March 2015. A promo video directed by Sitcom Soldiers was premiered on 3 March 2015.
Disquiet reached no. 79 in the UK Charts[4] which was the bands' highest chart placing since 1999's Suicide Pact - You First. The album was originally released on CD and download but the LP version was delayed release until 1 June 2015.
