Paradise is an album by My Disco, released on 23 February 2008. The cover photo was one of a series taken by Warwick Baker amongst opal mines in South Australia.[3] The album marked a further shift towards minimalism, a continuing theme from the previous album Cancer. The album was recorded in late 2007 at Electrical Audio studios in Chicago, by Steve Albini.[4]

It was released through the band's Numerical Thief label with distribution through Shock. The album was also released on vinyl. A Japanese version was released in January 2009 with new cover art and bonus tracks. A US vinyl only version was released in March 2009 with new cover art by Louisville, Kentucky-based label Fruits and Vegetables.

The official album launch was on 22 March at The Corner Hotel with Kes Band and Fabulous Diamonds.
