Various Production are the mysterious duo carving out new genres with every release and remix. After surviving a bidding war(Warp,Leaf,Domino...) they released their debut folk-dubstep LP (The world is gone) on XL/Beggars ( this tops them all. 8.5/10 Pitchfork). The new album follows on from 2006"s acclaimed the world is gone, and marks their first full length release with Fire Records. The Invisible Lodger is a unique collaboration with South London wordsmith Gerry Mitchell. From the folk-dubstep success of their first LP comes a shockingly new experiment of spoken word and electronica. The result is somewhat like a less rigid Massive Attack fronted by a Mark E Smith gifted at imagery and just word-play. Dreamy/nightmare machine-waltzes paint sonic scenes for a narrator deconstructing the city walls around him, with collective delusions disturbing his consciousness.
