Vanishing Twin - Archives [CD]

Shapeshifting trio Vanishing Twin present their new album 'Archives', a collage of postmodern songcraft that finds transcendence in the shared experience of creation.

The album's title alludes to Vanishing Twin's distinctive approach of listening to, piecing together and reworking daily recording sessions. Founding member Cathy Lucas describes the process as "gathering material together, riffing with it, turning it around on itself, trying to put the pieces together and create a story with it". With Lucas now relocated to rural France, and Valentina Magaletti and Susumu Mukai in London, the three connected by swapping songs and fragments of instrumentals in a virtual studio space.

'Archives' refines Vanishing Twin's model of collective music making, where egos are dispelled in playful games of mix and match, and creativity flows between the three multi-instrumentalists.
