CD AFTERNOON X

Description

Vanishing Twin continues their exploration of experimental territories with Afternoon X, released on October 6, 2023. This album is a collaborative effort by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Cathy Lucas, drummer Valentina Magaletti, and bassist Susumu Mukai. Together, they have crafted a hypnotic sound at the intersection of minimalism, kosmische, post-punk, and dream-laden psychedelic pop. Afternoon X offers eight tracks that blend diverse instruments, samples, and unconventional sound sources, with Lucas employing her voice as an instrument to weave surreal imagery and unexpected juxtapositions. From the infectious grooves of the title track to the constrained minimalism of "Subito" and ambitious compositions like "The Down Below" and "Lazy Garden," the album stands as the band's most forward-thinking and groundbreaking release to date.
