Discus grew out of a long-kept creative partnership between brothers Jake and Paul Stolz, who began writing songs in their childhood basement in Oak Park, IL almost as soon as they learned to play instruments. The habit would serve as a method of keeping in touch despite years of changing circumstances: elder Paul left for college and abroad for a stint in the Peace Corps, younger Jake moved into the city and joined a handful of Chicago bands — all of whom wound up folding Paul into their ranks upon his stateside return. While Discus was formed in an effort to forge a distinct songwriting voice independent of their more widely collaborative contexts, the Stolzes' other projects undoubtedly inform Discus’ identity: Pool Holograph’s artful angularity, Varsity’s love of pop and melody, and Central Heat Exchange’s wide-ranging emotional appeal all audibly influence the band’s approach.
