Sgt. Disco, Circus Devils' fourth album, features the band’s signature blend of psychedelic-tinged, fractured indie rock. The album stands as a testament to their unique creative process and unpolished, direct approach.
- The album was recorded at Cleveland's Magnetic North Studios with producer Doug McBride. It was released on August 28, 2007, by Ipecac Recordings. Sgt. Disco has not charted on the Billboard 200.
- Sgt. Disco was released just two months after the band's third album, "The Kids Are the Same." The album's runtime is under 30 minutes, consistent with many of the band's releases.
- The band members were all active with other projects at the time of Sgt. Disco's release. Robert Pollard had recently released solo albums and was touring with Guided by Voices, while Jon Theodore was a member of The Mars Volta.
Circus Devils is the experimental rock side project of Guided by Voices frontman Robert Pollard, guitarist Jim Sellars, and drummer Jon Theodore. They are known for their prolific output and idiosyncratic sonic explorations. Sgt. Disco was released midway through the band's career, following the critically well-received "The Kids Are the Same" and preceding "Gutter Ghosts."
