The band was founded in 1992. Rather than taking the normal route of releasing Demos, DA instead recorded a multitude of limited edition split albums, though rehearsal tapes and demos were released later on various compilation sets. Some of these have such poor sound quality that they just sound like blasts of noise, whereas later releases like The Inalienable Dreamless have very clear production which revealed the complexity of the guitar riffs.

They split up in 2003 when guitarist Rob Marton developed tinnitus from standing too close to the amp during rehearsals and live shows. They gained somewhat of a cult status post-split, and are renowned as one of the foremost art-grind bands.

The band was notable both for having no bassist and for packaging most of their full-length releases in DVD cases rather than standard CD cases, presumably to accommodate the unusually large booklets (normally with liner notes for each song longer than the lyrics).

Loveless
Discordance Axis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have
Never
Felt
I fell

Into
Arms
That hold me

I pass through you
Like a ghost

With her
Fingers
(She) so gently
Traced the contours
Of my face

Bringing out
The warmth

From a place
Deep in my heart

Overall Meaning

The first couple of lines describe the singer's lack of emotional investment in any relationship. They express that they have never felt like they have fallen into the embrace of someone who truly loves them. The following line suggests the feeling of being unseen and not noticed, like a ghost.

However, the succeeding lines convey an encounter with someone that awakens the singer's senses. It appears that this encounter is the first time the singer has been touched with such tenderness and care. The lyrics suggest that the experience releases something from deep within the singer's heart, indicating that they were struggling with feelings of emptiness before this moment.

Overall, "Loveless" is a song that speaks to the struggle of disconnection and the power of a single moment to change everything. The lyrics are an exploration of emotions that are all too common and the hope that a moment of connection can bring.
