The Age of Immunology

Description

Vanishing Twin’s flagship album, The Age Of Immunology, is being released in a LTD edition on None ‘Pink’ and Sine ‘Teal’ vinyl, limited to 500 copies each and accompanied by a matching sleeve. An essential perspective on psych-pop futurism and a must for fans of Broadcast, Sun Ra and Ennio Morricone. Establishing the band as innovators in their field, the record was described as “a masterpiece” by The Line Of Best Fit, while The Quietus stated that Vanishing Twin was “one of the most original and exciting bands around.” It is the band’s first album for Fire Records. At the time of recording, the band consisted of composer, singer and multi-instrumentalist Cathy Lucas, drummer Valentina Magaletti, bassist Susumu Mukai, synthesizer/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, off-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 during a concert on the Croatian island of Krk, where psychic connectivity crackled. The magical Morricone-like lounge of “You Are Not an Island,” the Jean-Claude Vannier arrangement of “Invisible World” and the sci-fi funk ode to the cult 1972 French animated film “Planète Sauvage” were all recorded during nighttime sessions in an abandoned factory in Sudbury.
