A powerful, multi-faceted beast, packed with the most aggressively dancefloor-focussed music Hopkins has ever made, Immunity is about achieving euphoric states through music. Inspired by the arc of an epic night out, the album peaks with Collider, a huge, apocalyptic, techno monster and dissolves with the quiet, heartbreakingly beautiful closer, Immunity, a track featuring vocals from King Creosote which could sit comfortably alongside the gems of their Mercury-nominated collaboration, Diamond Mine.
Immunity is a confident, dramatic record defined by an acute sense of physicality and place. It feels like the hypnotic accompaniment to a journey of creativity, a trip inside Hopkins’ mind, using analog synthesis alongside manipulations of physical, real-world sounds to make dance music that feels as natural and unforced as possible.
Immunity is the most human electronic album you’ll hear this year.
W podsumowaniach za 2013 rok w wielu zestawieniach przewija się postać Jona Hopkinsa. Artysta nagrywający dla Domino w mistrzowski sposob połaczył brzmienia w klimacie SIGUR ROS, BRIANA ENO, BOARDS OF CANADA, AMON TOBIN z tanecznym, szlachetnym rytmem. Co warto podkreślic artysta ma za sobą współpracę z takimi tuzami muzycznej sceny jak COLDPLAY, BRIAN ENO czy SEAL. Piękna muzyka która godzi ze sobą zarówno fanow indie, nowej elektroniki jak i muzyki tanecznej. “Immunity” to zdecydowanie jedna z największych muzycznych perełek ostatnich miesięcy.
