"Disappointing" comes from Grey Tickles, Black Pressure, John Grant's third solo album, released on Bella Union in October 2015, and it's the track where the English singer Tracey Thorn joins him. Grant wrote it himself and sings lead, with Thorn's voice alongside his, on a record he said he wanted to make angrier and moodier, even if he enjoyed making it more than the two before it.
Behind them, Budgie, the English drummer who plays on every track of the album and later went out on tour with Grant, is on the kit, with Pétur Hallgrímsson on guitar and Jakob Smári on bass. John Congleton produced, engineered and mixed it, with Alex Bhore assisting.
