Following on from last year's The Lights Go Out, Invisible Elephant returns with Anomie or Swimming in a Black Sea, an album of quiet heartbreak, searing dissolution and, ultimately, redemption.
Drawing influences from shoegaze, post-rock, pop, folk and ambient drone, the result is something that both tests and indulges the senses. AoSiaBS uses an eclectic mix of instruments, gadgets and effects to create a multi-dimensional experience. In amongst the swirl of reverb, soft but sombre drones and light hearted pop is a vast array of sounds that effect a continual shift in focus and perspective, re-creating through music the sudden disproportionate size, shape and importance everything in the world takes on in the aftermath of heartbreak.
This is the deluxe edition of Anomie or Swimming in a Black Sea, beautifully presented as a handmade hardback library book and complete with catalogue card. Strictly limited to 20 copies.
Officially released on the 15th of August.
