Jon Hopkins - Immunity

Jon Hopkins is to release Immunity, his fourth solo album, and first on Domino on June 3rd. A powerful, multi-faceted beast, packed with the most aggressively dancefloor-focused 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 2011 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. Style: Electronic
