They don’t sound like many but they hint at plenty. ‘Ookii Gekkou’ (Japanese for Big Moonlight) is the sound of ordinary life under a different set of rules, a record conceived and created in dark times – a sort of dream catcher for all the madness of the past year.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVanishing Twin explore new ground on ‘Ookii Gekkou’ incorporating elements of afrofunk, outer jazz and avant-garde, all while referencing Sun Ra to Alice Coltrane, Martin Denny to Morricone, Can’s Holger Czukay to meditative Gamelan, or The Free Design, to library music of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. Locked into their strangely-accessible groove is a history of ‘other’ sound, a crafted hauntology that evinces something completely new.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHurricanes, organisms, vibes, bells, and percussive rallies purvey throughout ‘Ookii Gekkou’, each infiltrated with influences as diverse as Piero Umiliani, Art Ensemble of Chicago and ELO among others. Indeed, even a cursory earful adds to an ever-expanding palette of sound, no mean feat for the newly-trimmed quartet of songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist Cathy Lucas, drummer Valentina Magaletti, bassist Susumu Mukai, and synth\/guitar player Phil MFU, this reduction resulting in no fewer ideas and even bigger steps. Vanishing Twin is a conundrum in these fragmenting times; familiar, yet different; appealing to this world, but from another, parallel one.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“A band that fearlessly floats in the hazy space between the real world and an imagined one, blurring the line between warmly nostalgic and eerily haunted” - Pitchfork\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“One of the most original and exciting acts of the moment” - The Quietus\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTrack List\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSide A\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA1 Big Moonlight (Ookii Gekkou)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA2 Phase One Million\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA3 Zuum\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA4 The Organism\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSide B\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB1 In Cucina\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB2 Wider Than Itself\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB3 Light Vessel\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB4 Tub Erupt\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB5 The Lift\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fire Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41078168092828,"sku":"FIRELP583","price":23.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/unnamed_1_ea543389-6f69-4e8f-b37e-d4ed2b7b9658.jpg?v=1634196135","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/vanishing-twin-ookii-gekkou-lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
