It’s not been known for Invisible Inc to reissue music except for the occasional obscure individual track…never an EP or an entire album.

But that unspoken rule has now been broken: Invisible Inc is proud to present the exceptional “Dual Head” by Swedish duo Futurum.

Originally released by Nadaville in 2023, Invisible Inc office boy GK Machine was amongst the lucky few to receive a promo of the album and the opening track “Prado” has been featured in his DJ sets ever since.

At the time the mini-album went somewhat under the radar and it was felt at INVINC HQ that it deserved to be brought to a wider audience and (re)appreciated for what it was: a voyage through a myriad of sonic landscapes. The aforementioned “Prado” is a semi-organic bass-driven groove that resides somewhere between progressive psych and folk funk, oozing with ’80s kosmische synth lines and melodies. “Beckholmen Bop” takes us to an entirely different space: a futuristic but sinister and mechanical wasteland in which metal oil cans are beaten by a gang of stray pagan robots. The title track “Dual Head” is an experiment in jazzed-out cyberfunk. “Spoeke” (meaning “Ghost”) is a direct doorway into the spirit world!

Their sound, as well as utilising live instruments, is predominantly built around experimenting with digital synthesis: FM, AM and physical modelling.

The duo (Mattias Jonsson and Sæmundur Grettisson) tell us they recorded the mini-album “during a weekend in a small cabin south of Stockholm in the winter of 2021. The beautiful calmness of the surroundings, and eerie late night sounds, like owls screeching, inspired some of the tracks, especially “Spoeke”. At some later sessions in Studio Bank in Stockholm, percussionist Philippe “l’Animal” Lassey and drummer Tobias Berving contributed some jazz-funk grooves and afro-cuban elements to the mixture.”

The artwork tries to capture the sense of wildness and folklore that the cabin conjures up and which comes through in these recordings.
