Severe was nominated and shortlisted into the final for the AMP Australian Music Prize. Following the release of Severe, the band released a Remix 12-inch on Karl O'Connor's label Downwards Records featuring Regis and Lustmord reworking the tracks 1991 and Our Decade. In 2018, MY DISCO recorded their 5th studio album with Boris Wilsdorf at Einstürzende Neubauten's studio andereBaustelle in Berlin. Their most uncompromising recording to date, the album was released through Downwards Records. Written over a two-week period during Berlin winter 2018, the band decided to let their surroundings shape the sound of their new material. Recorded in a place that has seen Einstürzende Neubauten, Keiji Heino and Pan Sonic pen works, the band became immersed within the confines of the space and immediate surroundings and set to create a record that has become a dark and intense departure from their previous releases. Following the release of Environment, the band were invited to perform at the 2019 Berlin Atonal at the historic Kraftwerk Berlin.
