Disappears is a rock band from Chicago formed in 2008. The band plays a mixture of shoegaze, krautrock and garage rock.

The band was formed by Brian Case (ex-90 Day Men) and Graeme Gibson and fleshed out with guitarist Jonathan Van Herik and bassist Damon Carruesco. They played Pitchfork Music Festival in 2009.[1] In 2010 their debut album Lux was released on Kranky. After their second album Guider was released in 2011, Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth joined the band[2] and the band went on tour through the US and Europe.[3]

Shelley left the group in 2012, citing touring scheduling conflicts.[4] He was replaced by Noah Leger (Electric Hawk, Anatomy of Habit).
