The Invisible


The Invisible is made up of members of Matthew Herbert's band, the producer Zongamin, and spearheaded by Dave Okum. What started out as David's solo side project quickly morphed in to a fully fledged album project after the initial sessions showed promise.

The end result is an album that is beautiful, full of groove and throughout, has songs which evoke intensity yet still feel kind of accessible. It has been described as the British TV On The Radio with touches of Hot Chip, based on the funk groove, dense mood and soul vocal that simmer throughout. Standouts for me include "London Girl", "OK" and first single "Monster's Waltz".

The Invisible - OK
The Invisible - London's Girl
