Discordia is the debut full-length studio album by Swedish musician Sofia Villarroel under her alias Individ.

Background
After producing a handful of EPs that ranged from 20 to 30 minutes in length, Villarroel decided to work on a full-length album.

The sessions for Discordia took place in Villarroel's bedroom. They were incredibly fruitful and efficient, with the album being completed in roughly a week. The sessions resulted in some of her most well-developed and textured material, such as the 16-minute closing track, "Discordia (Reprise)". The track listing is presented in chronological order, with the exception of "You're Next", which was the final song to be completed.

Composition
Discordia is an electronic music album with elements of dance, drone and trap.

The album takes its name from the song "Discordia", which was initially written by Villarroel for guitar. The chord progression in the song is unusual, with dissonant chords and inversions. The song is named after the goddess Eris (also known as Discordia) in reference to Discordianism.

The drone influence is evident on the "Discordia (Reprise)" song, where two chords are repeated for around 10 minutes, with the remaining 6 minutes following the chord progression of "Discordia". It can also be found in the song "You're Next", a lenghty, repetitive dance song which does not follow a chord progression, but variations on the same arpeggiated chord. The bass line of the song is used more as a rhythmic device than a tonal one, as it consists of only one note being repeated throughout the entire song.

The song "Pyrrhic" is dissonant and harsh and is influenced by noise music. The heavy use of distortion on the song makes it stand out from other songs, even though distortion was also used in the finale of "Discordia (Reprise)" and, to a lesser extent, "Handstand". "Handstand", however, is more influenced by Death Grips, and experimental hip hop.
