Some stories are hidden in your name. The name Vanishing Twin comes from vocalist Cathy Lucas’s twin, lost in the womb. This name is the key to the band’s strange and captivating ambiance. This London-based experimental pop trio creates sounds at the intersection of what exists and what doesn’t, the visible and the invisible.
Cathy Lucas’s multi-instrumental talent is joined by the hypnotic synergy of Valentina Magaletti on drums and percussion and Susumu “Zongamin” Mukai on bass and electronics. This dynamic crafts a unique sonic landscape at the crossroads of krautrock, post-punk, and psychedelic pop. Hailed as a new favorite for fans of Stereolab and Broadcast, Vanishing Twin’s music promises a utopian journey.
Since their 2016 debut album Choose Your Own Adventure, which nodded to art-pop aesthetics, the band has continually evolved. Their critically acclaimed 2023 album Afternoon X was praised by Pitchfork for achieving “an extraordinary balance between chaos and calm.” It’s not just an album; it’s a testament to how modern music’s boundaries can be pushed.
This Saturday, the concert at Salon İKSV is more than a musical event; it’s an invitation into the inner world of some of London’s most creative minds. Following the Gipsy Kings the day before, it will create a vibrant festival atmosphere for Harbiye’s autumn concerts.
