The Disco (feat. Mike Funk)

FEiN single featuring Mike Funk, co-written by Luke Francis Walton and Brandon Michael Woodward. ISRC TCACQ1735079 (SoundExchange), in the same TCAC* registration cluster as Don’t Leave Me Alone (Feat. Noreen), It’s Alright, and P.A.R.T.S.. Post-Little Homes return single (2017, ℗ Tiny Giant).

Fresh Beats 365 (Jan 30, 2017, Tom Roden) framed it as FEiN’s re-emergence after going quiet post-Little Homes (2016): a Mike Funk collaboration that arguably overshadows most of the band’s album — traditional disco melodies with contemporary funk guitars and a fiercely frantic tempo, in the vein of the Christofi collab lane but with FEiN’s usual self-aware wit on the disco-revival juxtaposition. ReverbNation Blog (Jan 27, 2017) opened the same post-Little Homes window — headline Spotify Playlists, Dragon Ball Z, and Collabs — with Christofi × The Disco and Luke on the fourth writer ghost in collabs (Writing ‘The Disco’ was terrifying). On #Grownupz viral stats Luke answered: Hashtags and the letter z. #DragonBallZ. See Dragon Ball $d spine. The indexed Mike Funk single landed days later on Fresh Beats.

Roden’s Feb 2017 It’s Alright review opened with for the second month in a row, FEiN has demonstrated that it is a musical force to be reckoned with — this was the first of those two consecutive Fresh Beats months.
