I Can't Believe It's Not Rock


Daniel Johns and Paul Mac met in 1997 when Paul Mac remixed "Freak" from Silverchair's Freak Show album. The two became friends and Paul Mac worked on the subsequent Silverchair albums Neon Ballroom, Diorama, and Young Modern. The two worked on the experimental I Can't Believe It's Not Rock EP released in 2000.



The making of The Dissociatives album


In mid-2003, Daniel Johns and Paul Mac got together to produce the album, recording the basic tracks in London, and finishing it off in Sydney and Newcastle. The pair produced all the instrumental tracks and vocals themselves with Johns writing the lyrics and recording them in Newcastle.


The pair described the music and lyrics in the April 2004 Australian edition of Rolling Stone. "The music is, for me, a combination of excitement, happiness, rambunctiousness and viciousness, done to whimsy," Johns said. "I'd add with a hint of melancholy, but it's more outweighed by joy," added Mac.


The pair, in an interview on Rove Live in 2004, said that the musical journey of The Dissociatives is "definitely not a side project" and that they plan to release more interesting and groundbreaking music in the future under this guise. However, the band have been on hiatus since 2005 due to work with other projects (Silverchair, The Presets, and more recently Johns' solo work), and have not publicly stated plans for future albums or performances.
