Immunity

Description

JON HOPKINS Immunity Radically dancefloor-oriented, Londoner Jon Hopkins' new album is a powerful, multifaceted monster. Halfway between Brian Eno and Four Tet, it culminates with the track Collider, a titanic and apocalyptic techno piece, then ends gently with the sublime and heartbreaking Immunity, sung by King Creosote. This could have featured on their collaborative album, Diamond Mine, nominated for the 2011 Mercury Prize. Immunity is an audacious album, a journey into Jon Hopkins' mind, blending analog and organic sounds to create dance music as natural and spontaneous as possible. Jon Hopkins is a talented producer, nominated for the prestigious Ivor Novello Award (Best Original Score category), a regular collaborator with Brian Eno and Coldplay, and also a remixer for David Lynch, Four Tet, Wild Beasts, and Purity Ring. Among all the electronic albums you'll hear this year, it's highly likely that Immunity will remain the most human and sensitive of them all.
