Age Of Immunology (Pict)

Vanishing Twin is songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist Cathy Lucas, drummer Valentina Magaletti, bassist Susumu Mukai, synth/guitar player Phil MFU and visual artist/film maker Elliott Arndt on flute and percussion; and on this album they have made their first artistic statement for the ages Some of it's great power comes from liberation. The album was produced by Lucas in a number of non-standard, non-studio settings. "KRK (At Home In Strange Places)" summons up the spirit of Sun Ra"s Lanquidity and Broadcast And The Focus Group Investigate Witch Cults Of The Radio was simply recorded on an iPhone during a live set which crackled with psychic connectivity on the Croatian island of Krk. The magical Morricone-esque lounge of "You Are Not an Island", the blissed-out Jean-Claude Vannier style arrangement of "Invisible World" and burbling sci fi funk ode to a 1972 cult French animation, "Planet Sauvage", were all recorded in nighttime sessions in an abandoned mill in Sudbury. The only two outsiders to work on the recording were "6th member" and engineer Syd Kemp and trusted friend Malcolm Catto, band leader of the spiritual jazz/future funk outfit The Heliocentrics, who mixed seven of the tracks (with Lucas taking care of the other three).1 KRK (At Home In Strange Places)2 Wise Children3 Cryonic Suspension May Save Your Life4 You Are Not An Island5 The Age of Immunology6 Magician's Success7 Planète Sauvage8 Backstroke9 Invisible World10 Language Is A City (Let Me Out!)
