The Age of Immunology

Description

Vanishing Twin’s seminal album The Age Of Immunology receives a LTD run on None ‘Pink’ and Sine ‘Teal’ vinyl, limited to 500 copies of each and accompanied by bespoke artwork.An essential take on psych-pop futurism and a must for fans of Broadcast, Sun Ra andEnnio Morricone.Establishing the group as innovators in their field, the record was declared “a masterpiece” by The Line Of Best Fit, whilst The Quietus asserted Vanishing Twin to be “one of the most original and exciting bands around.”This is the band’s first record for Fire Records. At the time of recording the band comprised songwriter, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Cathy Lucas, drummer Valentina Magaletti, bassist Susumu Mukai, synth/guitarist Phil MFU and visual artist/filmmaker Elliott Arndt, who plays flute and percussion.The album was produced by Lucas in a number of unusual, out-of-studio locations. KRK (At Home In Strange Places)” evokes the spirit of Sun Ra’s Lanquidity and Broadcast And The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults Of The Radio and was simply recorded on an iPhone at a gig on the Croatian island of Krk, where psychic connectivity was crackling. The Morricone-esque magic lounge of “You Are Not an Island”, the Jean-Claude Vannier-like arrangement of “Invisible World” and the sci-fi funk ode to a cult 1972 French animation film, “Planète Sauvage”, were all recorded during night-time sessions in an abandoned factory in Sudbury.
