ALBUM OF THE DAY: Immune - Night Visions (2014)


"Night Visions" is another incredible release from the Dream Catalogue label, which after an overflow of forward-thinking releases in 2014, has seen the trend has shift from plunderphonic-based vaporwave to dark, ambient techno and trap music.  Immune has created a noisy, somnambulant album with "Night Visions", and tracks like "Dystopian Love Poem" incorporate the kind of pitch-shifted trap vocal samples that invoke a hazy, urban feel into a genre that has typically opted for the cyber-Japan aesthetic.  Compared to Immune's 2016 release "Breathless", this is a busier album that moves more quickly than the slow-simmer of the former, but it nevertheless succeeds in executing its arcane concept of a spectral neon city at night.
