Made up of Wire frontman Colin Newman & Minimal Compact‘s Malka Spigel, Brighton-based duo Immersion have shared their new single & video “Propulsoid“. The band are set to release their new album Sleepless on June 15th via swim~.
Speaking about the new track, the band said “The roots of Immersion lie in abstract techno but somehow over the years we’ve acquired the motorik of krautrock without ever consciously deciding on that direction. “Propulsoid” is a kind of propulsive mythical beast, an unholy alliance of Klaus Dinge’s beats and acid squelch filtered through the ever present MS-10. We guess it’s a kind of dance music!”
“The video was made by us in the same spirit as we make the music and write these words. It’s about speed, light & repetition.”
