Great British songwriters did something. Animals do something else. Emotional cannibals like Albarn made laughing stocks of us all. Ferry seasoned. Bowie served it back. This is the universal chimera of cynicism, cry-wanking next to every single human ever. The guilty rite of going wrong.

Full Bio Below:

Dave Okumu, Tom Herbert and Leo Taylor



The Invisible are a South London trio who create ‘exploratory, expansive pop music’ that operates on two distinct levels simultaneously: it’s instant of hit, melodies exact and hooks neatly barbed, yet there are cerebral qualities.



Their eponymous debut album (released 9 March 2009), was nominated for the Mercury Prize and selected as critics choice for iTunes album or the year.



The Invisible’s name arrived at after the three began writing. The moniker is a nod to the writing of Irish philosopher and poet John O’Donohue, whose simply articulated notion that humans exist in parallel worlds – the visible and the invisible; one physical, one spiritual – is a relationship, a balance, that comes through loud and clear in the band’s aesthetic.

Unafraid to challenge themselves compositionally, the invisible's boundless approach to arrangement flows effortlessly between the texturally rich and the rhythm heavy, the ethereal and the visceral, taking in unique and subtle electronic dancefloor rhythms as well as deviations into experimental rock. It's a mixture that's won peer level praise from the likes of Foals, Hot Chip, Wild Beasts, Anna Calvi and Everything Everything.

The Invisible are releasing their second album, ‘Rispah’ in 2012. The first release from this will be a limited edition 12” of ‘Protection’ – released 26th March, 2012.



**** “Instantly marked out by its breathless scope and uncanny intensity … The sound of

Ambition paying off “ Q

**** “Ambitious, affecting brilliance … Their dark substance and assured invention promises

much for the future” Mojo

“If only more bands out there knew that the possibilities are this many, and this magnificent”

The Quietus

“The Invisible is set to blow an invigoration blast of fresh air through the convention-bound

halls of pop” Time Out

**** “Takes in LCD Soundsystem-esque guitar-funk, Bloc Party-style danceable song

structures, philosophical subject matter and an air of Hot Chip's loveable, geeky charm”

Independent

“Warm and wonderful” Music Week

“[The Invisible have] a super-human knack for writing hypnotic songs” BBC Music

“Rich, serrated and sinuous, packing verve and sweep. Everything is perfectly placed and

weighted. Don’t believe the hype about The Invisible – there’s more to them than that”

The Wire

“Soulful, supertight … impeccable” NME

“‘Their debut album sound unlike anything else out there at the moment, explaining the deserved

Recognition” The Sun
