Immersion is the project of post punk musical architects, Colin Newman (Wire) and Malka Spigel (Minimal Compact), and Matt Schulz (Holy Fuck, Savak & Lake Ruth).Since the pandemic, Immersion has been mainly working on their Nanocluster collaborations, but they have now re-engaged with the core project after a UK and USA tour gave them a shot of musical urgency and lyrical immediacy.If the Nanocluster project is about collaboration, then Immersion in 2025 is a response to where humanity finds itself in the second decade of the 21st century.It reacts to not only that relentless rhetoric of these times but also how we as humans should respond.Music is the message, the medium, the massage and the moment.This song collection manages to combine the unease with hope, minimally hypnotic songwriting with taut melodies and inventiveness with groove.
