{"product_id":"vanishing-twin-ookii-gekkou-vinyl-lp","title":"Vanishing Twin: Ookii Gekkou Vinyl LP","description":"\u003cp class=\"faq-quote\"\u003e\"There's a mystery to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Vanishing+Twin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVanishing Twin\u003c\/a\u003e – from their name to the multitude of sounds that inhabit their music. 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. Vanishing 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. Hurricanes, 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.\" - Fingertips\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3rd full-length from modern psychedelic experimental outfit, influenced by Ennio Morricone, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCan, \u003c\/span\u003eMartin Denny, Sun Ra + more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack vinyl pressing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprinted inner sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edigital download included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Fingertips 2022\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eALSO AVAILABLE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/vanishing-twin-the-age-of-immunology-vinyl-lp\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eVanishing Twin: The Age Of Immunology Vinyl LP\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vanishing Twin","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":39983234547802,"sku":"lp-13102","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/vanishingtwin-ookiigekkou-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1759286593","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/vanishing-twin-ookii-gekkou-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
