PRAISE FOR THE INVISIBLE
‘Album Of The Week’ Zane Lowe, BBC Radio 1
‘Album Of The Day' BBC 6 Music
"An innovative, intensely personal and passionately vital second album." - Metro 4/5 (lead review)
"A stirring, stately, eerie piece of music that sounds as ancient as it does futuristic.. Remarkable." The Times 4/5 (lead review)
‘Rispah’ is an infectious interplay between indie and electronica which is cerebral yet instantly accessible... it’s marked by moments of genuine greatness" - Clash
''Irrespective of genre or decade, 'Rispah' is an astonishing tsunami of emotion which above all, makes you feel alive." - The Fly 4.5/5
''As you'd expect from these craftsmen, its lusciously produced- drums flutter and fade as Okumu's breathily angelic voice drifts into a limbo between life and infinity'' - Loud And Quiet
“Spectral stuff… a magnetic tribute” – Q
"It's a magnificent record, born out of grief and bathed in a celebratory wonder" – The Quietus
“The Invisible have realised a set that is both contemplative and cathartic, maintaining a significant emotional hold on the listener long after finishing... Records like this don’t need to be forced upon the
listening public. Rispah is brilliant enough for the listening public to find it naturally” - BBC
“Darkly compelling… perfect nocturnal listening” – Big Issue
"Its an incredibly uplifting and moving affair, full of elegant mood pieces and pummelling post-rock that's comfortably the best thing the band have done.'' - Vice 8/10
“Elegant and enchanting… An astonishing redemptive arc brighter than any rainbow” – Mojo 4/5
"Proves beyond a doubt that this unlikely trip of jazz-leaning musicians are one of the capital’s most subtle and clever...It’s a marvellous record, from one of our most valued bands" - Dummy
''Adventurous, forward-looking and luxurious, all at the same time.'' - NME
“It's light-flooded, sensual and hugely uplifting,its lush, lyrical, inventive electronic soul" Time Out 4/5
