**Disappears** was an American [rock](/source/Rock_music) band from [Chicago](/source/Chicago), Illinois, United States, which formed in 2008. The band played a mixture of [shoegaze](/source/Shoegaze), [krautrock](/source/Krautrock) and [garage rock](/source/Garage_rock).

The band was formed by Brian Case (ex-[90 Day Men](/source/90_Day_Men), [The Ponys](/source/The_Ponys)) and Graeme Gibson and fleshed out with guitarist Jonathan Van Herik and bassist Damon Carruesco. They played [Pitchfork Music Festival](/source/Pitchfork_Music_Festival) in 2009.[1] In 2010 their debut album *Lux* was released on [Kranky](/source/Kranky_(record_label)). After their second album *Guider* was released in 2011, [Steve Shelley](/source/Steve_Shelley) of [Sonic Youth](/source/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).

Disappears have been on hiatus as of the fall of 2016, with Damon Carruesco wanting to focus on his art and design work as well as solo musical project Tüth. The three other members debuted the new band FACS as a three-piece in January 2017.[5]
